          Released 22 November 1974, three weeks after the Turkish film, Seytan, this is one of the first overt carbon copies of The Exorcist (1973), and borrows many elements from William Friedkin's film, including pea-green vomit, and one of the characters falling down a lengthy staircase.

        • Alternate versions
          UK cinema and video versions were cut by 13 secs by the BBFC to edit shots of a live toad being crushed to death. The Optimum DVD is fully uncut.

        better than the excorcist!
        This movie gave me chills. Whereas the excorcist didn't scare me in the least, this movie is more detailed, and more focussed on life outside of the girl's room! It's an old movie, but truly scary!! absolutely recommended.
