3/10
Less Than Mediocre
23 November 2023
Pretty bad possesson movie made the year before The Exorcist. Shirley MacCaline turned down the lead in the Exorcist to make this bomb. Bet she still regrets it.

The movie is really poorly directed. It looks like a bad TV show, not a theatrical film. And the backing musical track is one of the worst I have ever heard.

Then there's the rather poor acting -- especially the secondary characters like the woman who plays Sherry. She's absolutely horrible.

Shirley MacClaine seems to have an unusually pseudo-sexual relationship with her brother in this film. Its really weird and has nothing to do with the movie.

There's an Andy Warhol hanger-on (I think it was Pat Ast) who appears for a couple minutes is a dismal, unnessessary, scene.

The only interesting thing about the movie are the street scens of 70's NYC. How dilapidated it was, and how it's starting to look like that today.
