Review of Exorcismo (1975) by Shawn W — 12 Jun 2010
It was nice to see Naschy play the good guy this time. His father Adrian Dunning character makes a fine exorcist, and the story itself is a cut above other similar films: along with the possession plot, there's also a murder mystery going on at the estate where the possessed girl and her family live.
With a satanic beach orgy, horrendous over-dubbing, peeping-Tom butlers, a detective with the acting ability of a handball, and, of course, some drooling, cracked-lip, foul-mouthed, bed-levitating exorcism scenes, this Spanish entry into the early 70s possession-craze is a decent little flick despite a bit too much yakking early on.
The Special Edition DVD released by Victory Films features a GREAT 30 minute interview with Paul Naschy, some alterante scenes, and loads of rare stills and posters, and a very nice mini-introduction by Naschy.
