RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Michael O'Keefe Strange and demonic. The devil raises more than his evil head. A beautiful art student (Stella Carnacina) eyes an ancient sculpture and her soul is possessed by Satan (Ivan Rassimov). The life-like sculpture comes to life and rapes the young woman causing her to lose control of her sexual thoughts and actions. Her body becomes a battlefield as an exorcism adds fuel to the old battle of good versus evil. Not everyone's cup of tea; interest is haphazard. A graphic rated R early 1970's style.Directed by Mario Gariazzo. The cast also features: Luigi Pistilli, Lucretia Love, Chris Avram, Piero Gerlini, Gianrico Tondinelli and Gabriele Tinti.

BA_Harrison After examining a historical religious icon, pretty young art student Danila (Stella Carnacina) begins to exhibit some of the classic signs of demonic possession: poor complexion, an irrational fear of all things churchy, and a bad case of stigmata. Her doctors believe that her condition is the result of religious torment and emotional stress, but suggest that an exorcism might be her best chance of recovery.I saw this one under the title of The Eerie Midnight Horror Show, but it is probably best known as The Sexorcist, which is certainly more apt since the film is a blatant Italian Exorcist rip-off with extra sexy stuff chucked in to make it seem even more exploitative. Director Mario Gariazzo, who gave us the incredibly seedy giallo Play Motel, quickly introduces some primo sleaze, Danila chancing upon her adulterous mother indulging in some sado-masochistic sex with her lover, and continues to throw in random raciness throughout, including Danila indulging in a spot of masturbation, attempting to seduce her own father, and dreaming of having sex with a wooden figure of Jesus that comes to life.While all of this might sound like a whole lot of exploitative fun, most of the deviancy is presented in a surprisingly reserved fashion (especially when compared to Play Motel, which frequently bordered on the pornographic), and, as a consequence, is frustratingly dull for much of the time. The finale is particularly lacklustre, Danila's exorcism over in a flash, the girl giving priest Father Xeno (Luigi Pistilli) a few whacks with a chain before chucking up some watery soup, after which she is as right as rain.

Witchfinder General 666 "L'Ossessa" aka. "The Sexorcist" (1974) may be one of the silliest and nonsensical out of the many European rip-offs of "The Exorcist", but it is also one of the more entertaining ones. The possessed here is not a child or girl barely in her teens, but a gorgeous young woman, Danila (played by Stella Carnacina), who is an outstanding student of theology. When she assists her professor in examining a sinister religious icon, the lord of the flies himself takes possession of her... for the main reason to make her masturbate and offer sex to anybody available.The storyline obviously isn't the most original thing ever written, and it is also very nonsensical, but it is fun to watch. The ravishing Stella Carnacina must be one of the sexiest of the many sexy starlets in Italian 70s Exploitation cinema, and she therefore is the perfect girl to play a possessed nymphomaniac. L'Ossessa also stars two of the absolute greatest Italian genre actors: The always sinister Ivan Rassimov plays an incredibly horny Satan, and which actor would be more predestined for such a role? The great Luigi Pistilli plays the exorcising priest (in which role he sadly has very little screen time). The Exorcist with Rassimov as the devil, Pistilli as the exorcist, and the super-hot Stella Carnacina as the possessed girl - which lover of Italian Horror/Exploitation cinema would not at least find the idea enjoyable? The rest of the cast includes Chris Avahm (known to Italian genre-fans for his role in Mario Bava's "Bay of Blood) as Danila's father, and Lucretia Love, as Danila's nymphomaniac mother who likes to get whipped by her adulterous lover (Gabriele Tinti).The film is obviously very sleazy, and there is one very well-done gore scene, as well as some creepy moments. The finale is pretty ridiculous, but suspense and logic generally aren't the film's strongest points. The score is also pretty cool. Overall, "L'Ossessa" certainly isn't a good film, in fact it is very, very silly trash, and most people might agree that it is a piece of crap. In my opinion, it is still great fun to watch, however. My fellow fans of the trashier kind of Italian Horror might enjoy it.

trashgang I just can't get it, freaks out on the planet are talking about this one as a must seen, they even dare to call it a (s)exploitation because the possessed girl is seducing priests and is masturbating all time. Don't let me laugh. I watched the movie, seducing is only at the end of the movie and don't call it seducing,it's just bad language that's she is talking. And the masturbationscene is a big laugh too, she tries to seduce her father while masturbating, let me be clear, with her clothes on you perverts out there. It isn't gory or bloody at all, everybody is vomiting on Beyond The Door, well, let me tell, that one is for me better than this flick. Only the last 5 minutes the possessed one is vomiting and having weird eyes. If I had know that this is so bad then I would never caught me a copy. If you really wan't to see a (s)exploiation about exorcism watch Angel Above, The Devil Below or other cheesy ones. a waist of time this is.
