Review of Exorcismo (1975) by Jeffrey S — 19 Oct 2015
A Paul Naschy movie where he has almost nothing to do. He's usually best when playing the monster. Here, he just seems bored and wasting time. It starts off promising, with LSD dropping satanic hippies.
Then it quickly devolves to the possessed woman going around calling people "B****" and "Sons of b******." The middle drags on and on until we get a random satanic orgy in the middle of the movie.
Then the movie slowly grabs your attention back for a bit before going back endless talk. And talk in these movies is pretty annoying. They run through dialogue so fast, trying to explain every single detail.
This only becomes more bothersome if you watch these movies with subtitles since you'll be spending most of the time reading dialogue because they talk so fast. The ending gets a bit more interesting when the exorcism actually happens, and there is some nice makeup on the girl at the end, but it was too little too late.
This is just a Spanish Exorcist ripoff that might seem interesting because of the satanic hippies and orgies, but it really isn't all the interesting and gets really boring really fast.
