Directed by giallo maven Mario Bava, House of Exorcism is a truly rare cinematic find: a completely insane film. Sure, there are plenty of movies that are a little quirky, and even more that start off reasonably and then go around the bend later on, but in House of Exorcism, at no time is anything even remotely comprehensible happening. (No, not even if you watch it a second time.) Elke Sommer stars as Lisa, a beautiful tourist who spies an ancient fresco of the devil and seconds later leaves her tour group to become hopelessly lost. Fresco look-alike Telly Savalas, tongue and lollipop firmly in cheek, shows up holding a life-size mannequin and we're off. What follows is a whirl of opulent sets, vaguely menacing Europeans, and plenty of blood. It's the kind of movie where mysterious and weighty significance is given to lines such as "I brought you some cake. It's your favorite... with chocolate sprinkles." Like all great art, House of Exorcism asks more questions than it answers: Aren't we all just mannequins? Is Telly's face supposed to be obscured by that candelabrum? If those ghosts are so powerful, why have they been seated in coach? All this and more awaits you in The House of Exorcism. --Ali Davis --This text refers to the DVD edition.
Description
This very special edition features a rare double treat. Mario Bava first directed Lisa and the Devil (1973, 95min), a lush, lyrical film about a beautiful, mysterious woman who goes on a terrifying journey of murder, necrophilia and horrific revelations. It is widely regarded as one of Bava's finest films and certainly his most ambitious. The film later was re-edited and released as The House of Exorcism (1975, 91min), adding the horror of diabolical possession, following The Exorcist's phenomenal success.
