Devil's Possessed, The (1974)

** (out of 4)

Spanish horror film with Paul Naschy is pretty much Mark of the Devil meets The Adventures of Robin Hood. Naschy plays an evil king who's trying to locate of jewel that will give him eternal life. While searching for that he spends the rest of his days torturing poor people but a Robin Hood like character shows up to challenge him. If you're expecting a gore soaked film then you'll be highly disappointed because this thing would probably get a PG rating. I'm not really sure what it is but I found myself enjoying this a bit more than its rather poor reputation. There's no nudity and very little blood but I enjoyed it somewhat.
