Directed by Amando De Ossorio, Spain. I always want to look favourably on European horror from the seventies, but this EXORCIST-ripoff really tested my tolerance. A crusty-faced old witch dies and possesses the body of a local politician’s daughter. We then get the usual stuff: levitation, swearing, head-spinning (well…, waist-spinning…), moving furniture, and so on and so on. As expected, a priest with a backstory is plopped into the storyline and the whole thing lurches towards a deeply unsatisfying conclusion. Directed in the most cursory way imaginable by Blind Dead expert De Ossorio, this is possibly the worst of the ersatz versions of Friedkin’s masterpiece. 1/5.
