Viewing Notes

Visually stunning and supremely atmospheric Bava flick plays like a twisted dream that borders on nightmare before plunging headfirst into the dark abyss of horror. Some really great sequences (especially the final plane scene) and twisted sexuality make for a surreal experience. Very curious to watch the American recut version, THE HOUSE OF EXORCISM, which is included in the Arrow Films set.
