Review:
So this is basically the Italian take on both "The Exorcist" and "Rosemary's Baby". Firstly I should state that this is an amusing film, and very absurd, often hilarious. It's not terrifying nor is it bloody or anything like that, in fact it's simply cheesy. Still lovers of bad film will probably love this! It's about a Woman who was impregnated by the devil (go figure). So I heard something about some "flute scene" and thinking that it was an Exorcist clone I'd figured that Juliet Mills would erm stick it where the sun don't shine, but it turned out I was wrong. No the flute scene consists of a guy playing the flute with his nose and bothering her husband while he's walking. Other absurdities include Juliet's son drinking Pea Soup with a straw all the time and even having a poster of that Pea Soup, and her daughter is a jive talkin' turkey. Be prepared for some puking, head spinning and some toys coming to life. It's actually shot quite nicely and although the second half drags the first half is uproariously entertaining. Definitely not one to watch though if you are looking for a "good" horror film.
