Quotes:
Mr. Booth, the Lawyer:
[at the Montelli trial] ... Your Honor, it is my intention to prove that Sonny Montelli is a victim of demonic possession - that is, possession by the Devil - and therefore innocent of the charges placed against him.
Judge: Mr. Booth, I admire your originality. If I accept your plea, regardless of verdict, every courtroom in this country would be inundated with pleas of demonic possession. Nobody would be guilty of anything anymore. Quite literally, "The Devil made me do it." You have three days to submit another plea, Mr. Booth.

After a nothing-short-of ridiculous Amityville Horror, I was loathe to spend theatre bucks on this one. I first saw it when it hit cable. Ok, I was a grown man, very secure, I believe I was in college at the time.
Im a very normal guy (mmmmwhhhaaaaa)...and this movie scared the DEVIL out of me! It was extremely well done...well acted...it was a BIG plus to see the gorgeous young Diane Franklin (whose promising career must've derailed somewhere along the line). The suspense is abundant in this flick...the morphing scenes...where the demon morphs into different people were way ahead of their time.
I am not kidding, this is a movie I will own one day. It is a fine example of its genre. Don't think about it, just watch it and squeeze the hand blue of someone you love...it is classic eighties. The best of its kind, IMHO.
I wonder whatever happened to Diane Franklin?
Go on, rent it...you'll lay a brick! You'll have a laugh or two also...but I dare ya...(smile)
