Exorcist Knockoff, But a Decent One

A person breaks into a church, and steals a chalice while leaving behind a mess and a Satanic calling card. That would be bad enough, but just wait until a little girl gets possessed and becomes the Demon Witch Child! Written and directed by Amando de Ossorio. He has made a number of low budget horror films, particularly in the "blind dead" series.Interesting score, vaguely reminiscent of Claudio Simonetti's work.The girl, Susan, is very weird, like a small child trapped in a preteen's body. Some of this may be due to the off dubbing, though. Her extreme innocence does seem logical in comparison to her transformation, making it seem more extreme. Very nice makeup effects, too. (Was this you, Pablo Perez?) (Interestingly, the actress playing Susan was the Spanish dub for Linda Blair in "The Exorcist").There are some "Exorcist" similarities, but it is not a blatant ripoff, even if this film was clearly inspired by it. When the priest gets called either "queer or impotent", that is pretty amusing.There is some completely erroneous nonsense about inheriting languages through genes, which may remain dormant for generations. I cannot imagine that any credible scientist would ever say such silly things.Absolutely deserves a decent DVD release. Whoever owns the rights, if any, and the original negative needs to get this one released to us in a clean copy. Someone call Dark Sky! They are the people for the job.

It's that old devil, called...the devil again

It's another Exorcist rip-off, but then who cares because it's a pretty entertaining one too. Fernando Sancho fans please note: He does not eat any chicken in this one.A creepy old woman desecrates a church, steals a chalice, and probably lays a cable on the floor on the way out, causing more problems for an overstretched police force who are trying to track down a kidnapped baby. The young priest in charge of the church is disturbed and thinks that its the work of satanists, whereas the police think it's some young people who are bored with drugs and sex. Good thinking, coppers!The old woman is the head of a satan worshipping cult and is quickly arrested by the police (which is confusing considering what they were just saying). Turns out the old witchy woman has also kidnapped the baby and wont talk, throwing herself out of a window while her second in command curses the police (including the eighties band led by Sting). Curses, eh? Better keep an eye on that young girl that's the daughter of a local judge - she looks like a typical possible possession case.What unfolds is kind of like The Exorcist as the girl starts cussing everyone left right and centre, spouting out their secrets, making door handles move on their own, writhing about the floor and turning the top half of her body round the wrong way. You get the usual science/religious conversations from the parents/priest/police/psychiatrist involved, but there are a good few differences that set this one apart.For one thing, there's an entire sub plot regarding a relationship the priest had with a girl before he became a man of the cloth. I know folks take breakups bad sometimes, but this girl becomes a drunken hussey and blames everything on him! She doesn't stop there either, which i guess sets up the priest for one of those 'crisis of faith moments' near the end of the film.What's also creepy is the little girl transforming into the old woman (while still being a little girl) and getting all murderous on the population. Reagan out the of the Exorcist just lay in bed waiting for victims - this kid goes out and cuts their tallywhacer off. That would give the impression that this film is gory by the way. It's not at all.I put this up near the top of the Exorcist rip-off pile. There's an effective burning sequence, the girl climbing down the side of a building, and all sorts of devilly jazz.

This terrifying Spanish exploitation displays possession, witchcraft , eerie scenes and horror

An acceptable Exorcist rip-off , though it contains some cheesy special effects and mediocre direction . La Endemoniada or Demon witch child or The possessed (1975) contains chills , thrills , disgusting Satanism and bizarre shots of possession . An old witch (Tota alba) seeks revenge through the daughter (Marián Salgado) of the commissioner who had her thrown in prison . Soon the little girl's head is spinning around, and an old priest (Julian Mateos) is called in to perform an exorcism. As the priest attempts to free from possesion with sinister visions resulting in fateful consecuences . As the young girl is really possessed by a malevolant spirit until a surprising and astonishing final . Good and evil battle for possession of the innocent! .If you were TERRIFIED by "The Exorcist"...HORRIFIED by "Beyond the Door"...Now see the GREATEST SHOCKER of them all!!!This is pretty entertaining witchery stuff about young girl turns possessed by a woman from a witches cult , while seeks vendetta . This is the Spanish answer to American horror hit , The Exorcist by William Friedkin . Atmospheric horror movie contains terrifying scenes when appears witchery , necromancy and possssion scenes and taking place brutal killings , terror, and confusion around her family and the townfolks . Although there are some lousily made scenes , including primitive special effects . It's a slight fun with passable make-up , naive FX , acceptable set decoration and functional art direction . The fable is sometimes silly and laughable , though a few effects and intriguing set pieces are professionally made . Some illogical parts in the argument are more than compensated for the excitement provided by the possession images , though sometimes are a little bit cheesy . While not a hit during its original run, the film became successful when reissued nearly 45 years later . Main and support cast are decent . Julian Mateos plays the priest trying to unravel the mystery suffering from the effects. While the starring child was acceptabily incarnated by Marián Salgado , she was hired by Amando de Ossorio due to she dubbed Linda Blair in the Spanish version of El Exorcist . And other secondary actors giving brief but acceptable performances such as Fernando Sancho as Police Inspector , Angel del Pozo as the father ,Roberto Camardiel as Managing Editor, Fernando Hilbeck as doctor who prescribes strong treatment , Lone Fleming , and , of course , Tota Alba as the creepy witch . In the film appears known Spanishtrash actresses as Kali Hansa as Gypsy Witch , María Kosty as Esther , Julia Saly nicknamed La Pocha , Montserrat Prous as a Nurse and Lone Fleming as Anne Crawford . All of them starred several exploitation films during the 60s and 70s . The Exorcist by William Friedkin spawned countless imitations , and clones all around the world , as in Spain was made four at the same time : this ¨Endemoniada¨ 1974 by Amando de Ossorio with Julián Mateos , ¨The Spiritist¨ 1975 with Vicente Parra, Maria Salerno and ¨Exorcismo¨ by Juan Bosch with Grace Mills , Paul Naschy or Jacinto Molina and ¨El Juego Del Diablo¨ 1975 with Imma de Santis by Jorge Darnell .The motion picture was professional though regularly directed by Amando De Ossorio . Amando began in films as a writer and assistant director and continued his career by making short films and industrial documentaries . He was one of the main directors of the Spanish horror boom in the 70s, specially for his quartet of films about the living dead Templars which started with his first great success and immensely popular ¨Tombs of the Blind dead¨ which to be continued by a trilogy : ¨Return of evil dead¨ , ¨Ship of Zombies or Blind dead 2¨ and ¨Blind dead 3 or The night of the sea gulls¨ . Amando owns his own studio and created and/or designed many of the simple special effects sequences you see in any of his many imaginative undertakings . Amando who passed away in 2001 was a good craftsman who realized a lot of amusing as well as entertaining films . He displayed a varied career and specialized on all kind of genres as Western in "Rebels in Canada" and "Grave of the Gunfighter" , Monster movie as ¨Serpent of sea¨ and , of course, Terror as ¨Malenka¨ , The possessed¨ and ¨night of witches¨ . Ossorio also studied painting and photography , moreover, he also made his living as a painter of creepy images of the Knights Templar in his later years.
