Watch Exorcismo For Free

Thanks for the memories!

Simply A Masterpiece

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The nth EXORCIST rip-off I have watched (and I still have a few more to go through!), though co-writer/star Paul Naschy reportedly claims it was written before that 1973 milestone. Few, if any, left much of a lasting impression and this one was certainly no exception, the reason mainly being that the victims always turn to be possessed by some dead relative rather than Evil Incarnate!Despite the title (which, incidentally, it shares with a surprisingly superior effort from the previous year by another Spaniard – Jess Franco – though the plot of that one has nothing to do with demonic possession), the expected rite at the center of the good-vs.-evil battle over a girl's soul only occurs in one brief flash during the last 15 minutes of the film (where the less-than-special effects takes center-stage)! The rest consists of general unruliness and mild swearing (though she intermittently takes to speaking in German and make baffling references to someone called Leonard)! Naschy is the exorcist, but he is also a friend (and former teacher) of the girl involved: though this ought to have allowed greater intimacy and poignancy to the confrontation scenes, as I said, these almost feel like an afterthought here! The only point of interest, in fact, are the satanic orgies (one of which is disrupted first by Naschy and eventually the Police) – especially since most people in the heroine's household, including a hulking bald chauffeur with a penchant for pornography(!), seem to be involved – and ensuing ritualistic murders. By the way, watching this, it has dawned on me just how many Euro-Horrors are set in Britain (Bristol in this case, albeit the print I watched is, thankfully, in the original Spanish language!).

"Exorcism" is a rather interesting and at times really fun entry in the genre.**SPOILERS**Suffering a car accident, teenager Leila, (Grace Mills) suddenly begins acting very differently, much to the detriment of her family, her mother Patricia, (Maria Perschy) as well as step-siblings John, (Jorge Torras) and sister Deborah, (Maria Kosti) who sense something is wrong. Getting to the point where they call on Father Adrian Dunning, (Paul Naschy) to make a visit, he doesn't think it's that bad and down-plays the whole situation. Following a death in the family, the strange situations continue and soon more murders arrive to them. The more time he spends around the family, the more he becomes convinced that something has happened to her, eventually finding that she has been possessed by Demonic forces. Intent on trying to get her back to her normal self, he wages a powerful war against the forces inside her to release the evil inside.The Good News: For an exorcist film, this one isn't that bad. One of the nice things about this one is that it changes around the rules that had previously been used. There's the whole issue of whether the spirit is of demonic origin or of familiar descent, which is something new to the whole affair. It raises them nicely and uses some really clever clues to help them out, with each side of the argument getting a fair share of the proceedings and never being overlooked. It's a nice addition to be able to see this from such a film, and it's handled quite nicely. Once the film switches over and becomes an actual possession film, there's rarely little that it gets wrong. The make-up look here is simply outstanding, as the body becomes grossly discolored, full of bruises, sores and cuts as well as the single creepiest and most memorable set of eyes ever. They look remarkable and nearly impossible to describe, being completely otherworldly and inhuman. It even goes the extra mile to incorporate a transformation sequence showing the marks appearing on the body, which is a great touch and really helps to make it feel that much more terrifying. There isn't a whole lot of scenes showing the possessed doing anything, the few times there are do give some good scenes. The lone priest in the house tormented by supernatural forces as they're preparing for the final battle is pretty good, with the hallucinations taking place, the furniture levitating and attacking as well as the forces coming out in even more powerful effects, as the wind blowing and eerie voices are heard to great effect. The Satanic orgy that takes place towards the end is where the film gets it's quota of nudity and impressive imagery, using them all in a great sequence that's sleazy, fun and quite exciting. That there's a really nice amount of scenic shots on display is something to behold, especially early on with the family wandering around the house and a later sequence where one is attacked by a figure wearing a demonic mask and a black cape, giving this one some really nice visuals here and there. All in all, this one here isn't that bad.The Bad News: This one does have a couple of flaws present. Most of them relate to how dull it is. There's a large portion of the film in the very beginning where nothing at all happens, and it gets to a really weak point eventually. A lot of it is based on the fact that the priest here has to suspend a large amount of pretty convincing evidence merely to keep the plot going. The first visit is obvious, but by the second and third visits complaining of the same thing, only in larger doses. These are done for a long time in the beginning to make it seem longer than it really is, but all it does is grow on the viewer with how repetitive it is as well as feature nothing of real interest later on. The subplot about the police investigation does nothing of importance either, being just a way to get more into the story rather than doing nothing to explain it or featuring anything of substantial interest, only going so far as to provide more scenes of dullness that the other scenes already feature. The infamous dog scene as well will get a rise out of some, merely for the cruelty it exhibits as well as the fact that it occurs right at the end, breaking up the pivotal scene in the film somewhat slightly. It's not all that bad, but these here are what keep the film down.The Final Verdict: A halfway decent entry in the exorcism genre, this would be better had it not been as slow to start. There's far worse to be had in this genre, and is a must-watch for fans of European Horror, Naschy or Exorcism-film fans, while those who aren't into any of those won't find much with this one.Rated UN/R: Graphic Language, Full Nudity, Mild Violence and mild animal violence

Nahhh! Leila (Grace Mills) is a teenager turned on to Satan (and LSD) by her archaeologist fiancé Richard. There's a neighborhood hippie demon cult hanging out at the local decrepit ancient castle, where Leila and Richard drink blood, drop drugs, join in sex orgies, dance to lame psychedelic rock and participate in black mass ceremonies where the guys wear pants, masks and capes and the women don't wear anything at all. Unfortunately, these kind of extracurricular activities have left Leila open to demonic possession from the dreaded "spirit of evil." Leila also comes from a screwed up family, which doesn't help either. Her older brother John is a recluse who seems to be in love with her. Her mother Patricia (Maria Perschy) is depressed because she thinks she was responsible for the father's death. To top it off, her sister (Maria Kosti) is a slutty semi pro golfer named (gasp!) Debbie Gibson. There's plenty of hired help around also to waste more time. Two maids (a young one who takes her clothes off a lot and an old one who spies on everyone), plus Udo (Luis Induni), a bald voyeuristic handyman who spies on Leila changing clothes, takes nude pictures of her and sneaks into the pool house to take a sniff of her freshly used bathing suit. Oh yeah and Borg, the pet German Shepherd.Paul Naschy is Father Adrian Dunning, the doubting priest (zzzzz) who starts snooping around after John and Richard both have their heads twisted around backwards. Leila tells him "They say I am perverse and I'm going to prove it is true!" During her birthday party, she tells her guests "You make me sick! I hate you all!" and when mom suggests having a doctor come over she she screeches "I don't want to see that fat ass!" Debbie suggests they commit Leila to a "sanitory," but Leila runs off and joins the cult again. She is rescued (again) and brought back home (for the third time).By this point in the movie, there's only about ten minutes left to go and all we've basically seen is some very boring scenes of characters talking and whining about how terrible and f-ed up their lives are and how Leila is acting weird. It's almost as agonizing to sit through as an Andy Milligan movie, minus the gore and laughs. But finally during the last few minutes we get the movie the title implies - an EXORCIST-like possession flick. Unfortunately, the best part of it are the contact lenses Leila gets to wear. Some cheap time-lapse slashes appear on her arms, legs and face, she gets scabby lips and her eyes take on the appearance of blue and white marbles. She begins reeking of rotted flesh, spits up some clear gunk, starts speaking in her dead dad's voice, sneaks into her mom's bedroom, slaps her around a bit and calls her a "filthy bitch of a whore." In comes Father Adrian, who now finally believes she is indeed possessed, fends off her attempts at seduction, hallucinates frogs and eels are in the kitchen and douses Leila with holy water. Doors open and close, a mirror breaks, there's sudden thunder and her bed rises up off the floor. After she tackles Dunning and the two roll down the stairs, the spirit is out of her and into - guess who? Why, Borg the family pooch! The demon dog then turns on Adrian and chews him up a little before he impales it on a fire poker. Then we get one of the most irritating final shots ever committed to film. It's Leila on the floor going from her hideous appearance back to her normal sexy self. But then there's ANOTHER time-lapse effect that sort of seems to suggest that the demon has possibly reentered her body. It's so badly done, you really have no clue what to make of it, which is the final slap in the face to anyone who has just realized they've wasted an hour and a half on this worthless POS.Screw the contacts, 1 out of 10 it is.

If this were not a very blatant rip-off of "The Exorcist" (which it very obviously is) it might be a halfway decent movie. Not a GREAT movie, but not too bad. Butinstead, we get some scenes that we've seen before and were better the firsttime around. A young, rich beauty (is there any other kind?) unknowinglyparticipates in a Satanic ritual and becomes possessed by the spirit of her late father, who died in an insane asylum. Things get moving with a head-turned- around-backwards murder (sound familiar?) and proceed onto the inevitabledemonic fried-egg eyeballs and scabby, vomit encrusted special effects make- up. There's nothing very new or original here. That said, it's still not the worst movie I've ever seen. It suffers from bad dubbing and a lame ending, but there's a few genuine scares, some groovy hippie coolness and lots of naked girlsdancing around, if you're into that sort of thing. Fans of the demonic possession genre may enjoy it, but die-hard fans of The Exorcist may be somewhatdisgusted. Four stars out of ten.
