An American tourist in Spain becomes prey to the devil and is exorcised by a priest, who will discover that the woman suffered this fate for having participated in orgies and black masses during a party. This is a film made to order that had a very troubled destiny: the Italian version was so heavily edited that it substantially changed the plot, to the point that Bava himself later disowned the version remade by the producers (with exorcism scenes and a different ending added after the release of The Exorcist). For these reasons, it cannot certainly be considered one of the best horror films directed by the great Mario Bava, but it remains a good film enhanced by the excellent performance of Telly Savalas (Lieutenant Kojak of the eponymous TV series).
