Anticristo, L’ (1974, ITA) C-112m. SCOPE **˝ D: Alberto De Martino. Starring Carla Gravina, Mel Ferrer, Arthur Kennedy, George Coulouris, Alida Valli, Mario Scaccia, Umbero Orsini, Anita Strindberg. Unjustly dismissed Italian EXORCIST-clone about Ferrer’s daughter Gravina, who has frightening visions of a witch trial. The paralyzed young woman is suffering from a childhood trauma and slowly starts showing signs of a demonic possession. Her uncle Kennedy, a priest, knows what to do… Some good, effective sequences highlight this chiller that is not really that similar to the Friedkin classic. Unsettling score by Ennio Morricone, who – like director De Martino – pulls all the stops at the thrilling finale. Photographed by Joe D’Amato! Released in the U.S. as THE TEMPTER. Other title: THE ANTICHRIST.
