Amando de Ossorio's take on satanic possession goes in some gnarly and gruesome directions. Plus it makes the girl who is possessed more provocative and alluring . Both kind of twist this film around pretty well. Evil smiles and snide remarks plus an insane scene with her and a knife and a small size little box. The movie is kind of punctuated with scenes that jump out at you but drive home the theme of possession.
