Filmed in Barcelona, with exteriors shot in London, Paul Naschy wrote the Exorcism script before William Friedkin’s 1973 classic The Exorcist came out, but could find no one interested in producing the film until the Friedkin film became an international hit. In a quaint English village, gruesome crimes are being committed. The townspeople are terrified, and yet nothing has changed on the surface of this English country setting. Or has it? Paul Naschy stars and writes (as Jacinto Molina) in the terrifying story of a beautiful aristocrat (Maria Perschy) who has fallen victim to a bizarre illness while her sister is beginning to think herself possessed. The horrifying crimes have the police baffled--until they stumble upon a satanic cult operating under their very noses. What they uncover is an evil the likes of which had never been depicted on-screen before. For years, fans of this excursion into the supernatural realm have claimed that the film is “too powerful to be seen more than once.”
