Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: 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

While on a trip to Spain, Lisa Reiner (the beautiful Elke Sommer!!) gets hopelessly separated from her tour group, leading to a bizarre oddyssey into the supernatural. Lisa keeps running into a strange, bald guy w/ a mannequin (Telly Savalas from Horror Express), and she apparently kills another man by accidentally knocking him down some stone steps! Poor Lisa wanders through the labyrinth-like streets / alleys of Toledo, having one weird encounter after another, until finally hitching a ride w/ ... Read More

Wow!
What an absolute freak-out of a gothic horror movie.
Surrealistic mayhem.
Beautifully filmed, scored and acted.
I will have to watch it twenty more times to "get it",
that is, if there is anything to "get",
not that it matters.
Something to do with the nature of existence,
the human condition and evil, no doubt; maybe.
Great film.

Lisa and the Devil (1973) and The House of Exorcism (1975) are variants of the same Mario Bava horror film. Lisa and the Devil was intended to be one of his more personal horror tales, but it's subtleties (at least for a horror film) were associated with little popularity and the film was a big money loss for its producers. Trying to recoup their losses, the studio re-edited the film, shot a bunch of new footage and changed the plotline to cash in on the popularity of The Exorcist, resulting in ... Read More

Lisa and the Devil is one of those wacky horror films that doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense, but it's bizarre, stylish and just coherent enough to be an interesting ride. It involves a tourist who's entryway into one goofyass night is a painting of the devil she sees in a village square. After the painting, she runs into Telly Savalas(he looks like the devil in the painting), who's carrying and talking to a giant doll. Then she runs into an old love of hers(who looks like the doll Savalas ... Read More
