Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Aaron1375 I got this film in a collection with 50 other films under the title "The Eerie Midnight Horror Show". I watched this one, because I was expecting a horror film that revolved around a radio or television program. I was not expecting an Italian Exorcist film. This one is most certainly that, and not what I was expecting. I am not really into possession movies, so if I knew it was going to be a remake I would not have watched it. The film did not really start out like an exorcism film, as it had this art student helping a man pick up some sculpture in a church. There was even a scene as the girl worked on a painting that seemed like it might have a radio show or something involved as the sculpture seemed to mess with the radio the female was listening to, but no...turned into the Exorcist. Granted a more sex filled Exorcist, but The Exorcist nonetheless.The story has a young woman helping someone pick up a strange sculpture of a man on a cross. She begins to have visions of a sexual nature and soon she is diagnosed possessed. A priest tells her parents that she needs a priest that deals with exorcisms, but they are virtually nonexistent, however there is one right down the road. Add a pointless plot point involving the mother, most likely to pad the film and a lot of other padding. Then we have a very weak and non memorable showdown!The film had some good scenes to it, though it probably would have made a better adult film as at times at the beginning it had an adult film feel to it. The title of the film, I watched it under did not fit at all, but its main one here does. I think they should have just called it the Spaghetti Exorcism and had Clint Eastwood as the priest at the end. Now that would have been epic! Of course, he most likely would have grabbed the chain and taken it, wrapped it around the girl and thrown her into the well before lighting up a cigar and then the camera freezes credits roll. If it did that, I would have given the film a 10!

Witchfinder General 666 "L'Ossessa" aka. "The Sexorcist" (1974) may be one of the silliest and nonsensical out of the many European rip-offs of "The Exorcist", but it is also one of the more entertaining ones. The possessed here is not a child or girl barely in her teens, but a gorgeous young woman, Danila (played by Stella Carnacina), who is an outstanding student of theology. When she assists her professor in examining a sinister religious icon, the lord of the flies himself takes possession of her... for the main reason to make her masturbate and offer sex to anybody available.The storyline obviously isn't the most original thing ever written, and it is also very nonsensical, but it is fun to watch. The ravishing Stella Carnacina must be one of the sexiest of the many sexy starlets in Italian 70s Exploitation cinema, and she therefore is the perfect girl to play a possessed nymphomaniac. L'Ossessa also stars two of the absolute greatest Italian genre actors: The always sinister Ivan Rassimov plays an incredibly horny Satan, and which actor would be more predestined for such a role? The great Luigi Pistilli plays the exorcising priest (in which role he sadly has very little screen time). The Exorcist with Rassimov as the devil, Pistilli as the exorcist, and the super-hot Stella Carnacina as the possessed girl - which lover of Italian Horror/Exploitation cinema would not at least find the idea enjoyable? The rest of the cast includes Chris Avahm (known to Italian genre-fans for his role in Mario Bava's "Bay of Blood) as Danila's father, and Lucretia Love, as Danila's nymphomaniac mother who likes to get whipped by her adulterous lover (Gabriele Tinti).The film is obviously very sleazy, and there is one very well-done gore scene, as well as some creepy moments. The finale is pretty ridiculous, but suspense and logic generally aren't the film's strongest points. The score is also pretty cool. Overall, "L'Ossessa" certainly isn't a good film, in fact it is very, very silly trash, and most people might agree that it is a piece of crap. In my opinion, it is still great fun to watch, however. My fellow fans of the trashier kind of Italian Horror might enjoy it.

preppy-3 An art student in Rome is possessed...or something. She has dreams of being nailed to a cross and Satan himself raping her. He possesses her (I think) and turns her into a sex addict. That's about all I could take and I turned it off.A pointless "Exorcist" rip off. I caught this on cable back in the 80s and was horrified...and not in a good way! This movie is supposed to be a horror film but turns into nothing more than a sex film disguised as a horror movie. There's tons of pointless female nudity and the actress playing the lead has to degrade herself more than once. We see her being raped by Satan (a hot-looking guy), masturbating, coming on to her own father...Gotta give her points for bravery. Add to that bad dubbing, editing (the rape scene looks like it was cut a bit), lousy acting and a story that makes next to no sense. The one disturbing sequence (her being nailed to the cross) ALMOST works but the lousy "special" effects ruin it. This is one of the few horror film that was so bad I stopped watching. Skip it.

trashgang I just can't get it, freaks out on the planet are talking about this one as a must seen, they even dare to call it a (s)exploitation because the possessed girl is seducing priests and is masturbating all time. Don't let me laugh. I watched the movie, seducing is only at the end of the movie and don't call it seducing,it's just bad language that's she is talking. And the masturbationscene is a big laugh too, she tries to seduce her father while masturbating, let me be clear, with her clothes on you perverts out there. It isn't gory or bloody at all, everybody is vomiting on Beyond The Door, well, let me tell, that one is for me better than this flick. Only the last 5 minutes the possessed one is vomiting and having weird eyes. If I had know that this is so bad then I would never caught me a copy. If you really wan't to see a (s)exploiation about exorcism watch Angel Above, The Devil Below or other cheesy ones. a waist of time this is.
