          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.

        7/10
        Pretty good "The Exorcist" imitation.
        Alberto De Martino's "L'Anticristo" is definitely one of the better Italian possession flicks.Carla Gravina is excellent as a wheel-chair bound,sexually frustrated Ippolita.The photography is stylish and the score by Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicolai is outstanding.The special effects are quite mediocre,but there is a nice amount of sleaze to satisfy fans of Italian horror.The infamous goat orgy scene is rather unpleasant and hard to forget.So if you like Italian horror movies give this one a look.7 out of 10.Recommended.
