Lisa and the Devil sucked in ways I can only hope to describe. If the haggard characters aren't mucking the whole thing up, Telly Savalas with his goddamned lollipops are. This movie has only the smallest possible fraction of charm and intensity that Bava's previous work does. A ...( read more)

Bava goes off the deep end and comes up with a strange, dream-like erotic horror nightmare.

A confusing cut of the superior "Lisa And The Devil" mixed with some lame Exorcist clone footage. Skip this and see "Lisa and The Devil" instead.

Not going to be my favorite Bava by a long shot, but the dreamy visuals and gorgeous sets make it worth a look at least once.
Looking forward to seeing how this was edited into another film called House Of Exorcism
Worth a rental, give it a look at least the one time. -

Surreal Mario Bava film. Probably one of this better movies. Completely Re-edited and re-written for US release as "House of Exorcism".
