Formulaic horror movie with bizarre and chilling events, 3 January 2007
5/10

Lisa (Elke Sommer) is a young woman as tourist in a Spanish old city named Toledo.Then she is lost and is taken by a marriage(Sylva Koscina and Eduardo Fajardo)and their chauffeur(Gabriele Tinti.They find shelter into a luxurious mansion where inhabit strange characters ,a countess(Alida Valli),his son(Alessio Orano) and the butler(Telly Savallas).

The picture belong to Italian horror genre,Mario Bava along Riccard Freda(Secret of Dr Hitchcock,Vampires,The spectre)and Dario Argento(Deep red,Suspira,Inferno)are the fundamental creators of classic Latin terror films. Mario Bava directed excellent horror movies(Mask of demon,Black Sunday ,Black lace,Planet of vampires) and mediocre(Baron of blood,Bay of Blood,Schock and Lisa and the devil) horror films.These movies are characterized by slick edition,usual zooms,special overblown use of colour with a glimmer red blood and utilization of shock images.The film gets an attractive and enjoyable casting,a gorgeous Elke Sommer(The prize),an enticing Sylva Koscina(Miguel Strogoff), a veteran Alida Valli(The Paradine trial) and a sympathetic devil with lollipop played by Telly Savalas(Kojak).Magnificent and colorful cinematography film by Cecilio Paniagua with intervention by Bava like is habitual in all his movies but he's usually the cameraman.The musical background is by Joaquin Rodrigo with his famous Concert of Aranjuez and the score by Carlo Savina.There is another version called ¨House of Exorcism¨for the American market added with images of a priest(Robert Alda) ,rip off from ¨The exorcist¨making spells,enchantment,exorcisms which results to be embarrassment and ridiculous. The motion picture will like to the hardcore Mario Bava fans.
