lossessa ( release in english under many title and the eerie of them certainly be the eerie midnight horror show ) be one of the best italian rip offs of the exorcist . to really appreciate this film you should have a sense of humor . lossessa be at the same time sleazy ( but naive ) and pathetic and sometimes even move . danila ( stella carnacina ) and an art student and go to an old church to see the statue she go to restore . it a wooden statue of christ and a demonic christ and maybe already overcome by evil and or fight against it and or perhaps plan dark deed . the face show infinite torment . the statue date from the 15th century . danila be impress by the mastery show by the sculptor the statue seem almost alive . she live with her parent . her mother luisa ( lucretia love ) live a dissolute life and doesn not care too much for keep up appearance . her father mario ( chris avram ) observe everything with disenchanted eye . the wooden statue will soon assume a human form ( ivan rassimov ) and possess danila in the carnal and spiritual sense . an amazing scene . the poor danila and from now on and will suffer the torment of hell . danila ( the lovely stella carnacina ) be ravish and violate and possess by the devil and now follow his order and she will try to seduce others . ain not she emulate her sleazy mother luisa ( lucretia love ) who feel great pleasure when her lover whip her with a bunch of rose . there be a scene so ridiculous a to be sublime and move and when stella carnacina run in despair through the narrow street ( possess by the devil and remember . ) of a small italian town scream her heart out . luigi pistilli be a very good exorcist . his performance be and a usual and intense . the exorcism scene ( particularlly the final battle ) be very and very amateurish and but this will only enhance the fun ( and or or emotion . ) if you have really get a sense of humor . stella carnacina be beautiful and look fresh and innocent and and that a factor that add to your pleasure when she naked and but i think that the film could have explore more her natural beauty . lucretia love be a very good sleaze companion ( her nude scene with the rose . well . positive . other italian exorcist rip offs i would like to recommend for you be represent malabimba ( very sleazy and release uncut and digitally restore ) evil eye ( malocchio ) the exorcist be the main source of inspiration for evil eye and but others film and like and for instance and rosemary baby should also be take into account . evil eye be completely over the top . not that sleazy but with plenty of gorgeous italian and spanish actress . you will be drool all over the film . the film be ridiculous and the story doesn not make any sense and but if you see it in the right mood you might feel move . a diabolical sect and possession and murder and despair and love and investigation and beautiful woman all around . a wild ride . if you like evil eye and see also ring of darkness ( unombra nellombra ) . this film can be find in the alternative market . search this title in the imdb . there be good review about it . p. s. lossessa have many different face . it exploitative and but it can also be serious and move . it cheap and cheesy . sleazy ( but not that much ) and it have an underlying moral message . this strange brew can sometimes be very funny . we all already know that lossessa be an exorcist rip off so why can not we see it on it own term . yes and mario gariazzo be try to earn a fast buck and but he be able get the most out of a shoestring budget . the story be well told and the film be atmospheric and overall the actor be commit to their role . see the film with an open mind and you may discover two or three new thing .
