This film had the potential of being somewhat Devil's Advocate, but wound up somewhere below Lost Souls and End of Days!

Charmingly wretched Rosemary's Baby-derivative. Winner resorts to shooting the film mostly in the unardoned, flat style of his Bronson vehicles, but whereas the approach works in meat n' potatoes action films, it completely clashes with the horror genre. The few times he chooses to invoke some actual pizazz (notably at the ending) work extremely well, however. Apart from the bland leading actress, the cast is extremely impressive. On paper. On screen, however, they're givin nearly nothing to do.

Slick, all-star Exorcist-like shocker. One of the goriest big-budget films of the '70s, this has a memorably sick climax mixing in real life freaks with Dick Smith makeup FX to portray the denizens of Hades. Look for Beverly D'Angelo, Jeff Goldblum, William Hickey, and Tom Berenger in small parts.

A beautiful young model moves into an old apartment building in New York and meets all kinds of odd neighbors...who may or may not actually exist. Mysterious thriller involving a dark secret of the Catholic church, which climaxes with a nightmare cavalcade of people with weird facial deformities. The cast for this movie is so awesome, Christopher Walken is in it and only gets two lines.

The most ridiculously overpowered supporting cast, haunting New York cinematography and some good ol' fashioned scary moments in the dark make this a pretty damn good watch. The music is unfortunately so very overbearing and out of place, and the decision to use circus freaks in the climax was sort of awkward, but there are many moments of the film that are deliciously strange in that 70s horror way, like a demon lesbian masturbation scene or nude dream sequences.

Religous/Catholic overtones give this movie its creepy feel. Does not come close to the Exorcist from which it obviously obtained its theme/ideas, but has some legs to stand on.

A pretty creepy movie with a pretty good cast to go with it. At times this is very uneasy to watch, but it has some decent gore and a decent story to go with it. The ending was a bit bizarre and it gave you something to think about. The seventies sure seemed to have some decent atmospheric horror movies.
