**Possible Spoilers Ahead**
A young student becomes possessed which leads to the usual bad behavior in public, levitation, snarling, spitting, blasphemy, bile-spewing and so forth. The possessee this time is male, as was the central figure in the case that inspired William Peter Blatty's novel THE EXORCIST. It all ties in with the antics of a heretic priest two centuries before. This movie is no more original, plotwise, than any other EXORCIST knock-off but it livens things up with several soft-core orgy scenes and a bloody gore murder. The profanity is restrained and at times almost creative. This film is also more atmospheric than usual due to Old World settings and some eerie devil worship footage. If you enjoyed gaunt, baggy-eyed Frank Garfield as the film's resident coven leader, you should also catch his act in Bruno Mattei's THE OTHER HELL. There will never be another EXORCIST but when it comes to rip-offs of that masterpiece, I've seen a lot worse.
