In the mid-70s, Paul Naschy, that remarkably prolific Spanish horror maestro, appeared to be an unstoppable monster-making machine! This darkly charismatic, broad-chested B-horror behemoth, able to turn his enviably versatile monster-making talents to creating many of the more indelible characters of vintage horror cinema! In Juan Bosch's suspenseful satanic panic 'Exorcismo', Naschy exaggerates the sensational elements from influential horror masterpiece 'The Exorcist' and luridly invokes his very own wickedly warped vision of demonic delirium!
Following the psychedelic, sordidly Satanic intro, our pretty protagonist, Leila Gibson (Mercedes Molina) suffers a horrific near-fatal car accident. Convalescing at her crumbling ancestral estate, Leila's once carefree existence is soon sinisterly shattered by manifestations of ancient, hell born evil! Her terrible fits are abominable in nature, strongly suggesting preternatural origins, rather than a schizophrenic disorder. Paul Naschy's stern, occult-repelling priest performs the sacred rite of purification in order to release this nubile child of god from her incumbent demon in a bravura climax of memorably boisterous Euro-horror insanity!
