the antichrist (1974)

aka L'anticristo. The Tempter. Blasphemy.
"This time I'm going to win."
Ippolita Oderisi (Carla Gravina), is a physically handicapped young woman, haunted by the death of her mother. A psychologist tries a bit of past life regression on her, revealing that Ippolita had been a witch burnt at the stake during the Inquisition. This unlocks more than just repressed memories, as she starts to imitate her past life, seducing and killing young men. Naturally her friends are worried and an exorcist (George Coulouris) is brought in to help...
Having seen how popular the Exorcist was, De Martino was duty bound to rip it off, badly.
