English Version
made with
perdone los errores
Exorcism
Powerful Euro sleaze, by the good
Jesús Franco, who also writes the script collaborating with
other people. The story is quite interesting: a former priest, now a
writer, redeems some women he considers sinners, torturing them to
death.
An interesting idea which, however, is very poorly carry out,
even that (un)healthy BDSM boring that pops up here and several naked
bodies of the actresses among which that of a young and very beautiful,
Lina Romay stands out.
Someone wrote that it would take a director to remake it, with the
necessary changes. I fully agree. In addition to boredom, then, a poor
realization is added, with really bad special effects and a little
inspired direction. Apart from that, there is something to save, and
it's Franco himself. The Spanish director not at his best behind the
camera, however, has a perfect mask for the role of the psychopathic
priest, Mathis Vogel, the one who kills sinners. If you know Franco's
appearance in the mid-seventies, you can only agree. He then acts with
a very slow rhythm, excellent for the role and that with a good sound
comment, present in the version I saw, the body of Lina Romay, and the
atmosphere of Paris, closes the positive things.
“Exorcism” opens with Lina Romay naked and tied up and
subjected to a very bad torturer. It is just a theatrical performance,
which is part of an uninhibited world that ignites the atrocious
fantasies of Mathias Voegel who begins to kill some women he spies
while they are having sex. The police investigate these murders very
vaguely, while always vaguely, the theatrical performances lead to an
orgy in the audience.
There is very little to say or save as mentioned, and certainly the
usual amount of versions, cut, uncut, hard core, many of which badly
dubbed, certainly does not help watching a film that sees Franco not at
his best. , although we are in the golden age. The cast includes other
well-known faces of Franco's cinema, such as Monica Swinn and Olivier
Mathot.
