lisa and the devil (1974)


aka Lisa e il diavolo.
"It is not always wise to stir up the past. We all have some hidden secrets."
Seperated from her tour group Lisa (Elke Sommer) is spooked when she meets a mysterious man (Telly Savalas), who bears an uncanny likeness to the Devil on a fresco she had viewed earlier that day. Later, and still looking for her group, she is forced to shelter at a villa for the night, where the same man is a butler...
An atmospheric and stylish nightmare world, leaning much on foreboding to build an atmosphere. Not well recieved at the time, this was reversoned as the over the top The House of Exorcism.
