michael williams and who work for bbc and find a somehow impressive italian picture which get mixed in the material of his ongoing task title diabolical art represent a documentary . but since his wife mysterious death her daughter and emily and have be emotionally disturbed and so he go spoleto and where the problematic picture be and with her and her nanny and jill . and there be a countess and who be also a psychic and and she inform him that the picture be somehow make at the night that a young witch name emilia be execute . michael doesn not believe her story and but after that emily have hysterical spasm and jill be kill . this italian film be and of course and almost innocently influence by the exorcist and but this one be much cheap and much simpler and and in a sense and much dirty . first of all and it should be say this film be full of confusion . for instance and the story show emily be a reincarnation of emilia . but when emily see her in the flashback and she perceive her exclusively from a third person point of view . but if she be the reincarnation of emilia and she should and must see the past from nothing but emilia point of view . confusion of this kind and which the film have many and be almost exclusively base upon a problematic fact that the film be too cowardly and rather than ambivalent and to specify it own quasi freudian theme and namely and pre adolescent girl one way incestuous wish . to make matter bad and this film also have characteristic problem ( if not confusion ) while every character be too naive and helpless to be realistic and or or believable living human . regard emily ( or emilia ) and she be after all a child and and one can say it be difficult to blame her mainly for her naiveness and helplessness . ( and accord to the freudian theory and every girl want to have her father child ( ren ) in her own way . in this sense and emily be not exclusively pathological while only her way of exclude other woman from her father love be problematically pathological . but and a i already mention and this film per se be too cowardly to be freudian . ) the problem be that adult character be a childish and naive and helpless a emily be . and because of this characteristic weakness even the psychic who can see almost everything can not do anything down to earth and and because of the same weakness the very story of the film be end in a badly escapist way . in addition and special effect of this film be incredibly cheap and laughable . although stelvio cipriani music be noteworthily beautiful ( indeed this one be so good that it seem to be worth have it alone ) and the film a a whole be nothing but a cheap b film which can disappoint even the 1970s italian horror film lover .
