Directed by Brunello Rondi • 1963 • Italy
Starring Daliah Lavi, Frank Wolff, Dario Dolci

For his second film as a director, famed screenwriter and Fellini collaborator Brunello Rondi (LA DOLCE VITA, 8½) created this shocking and deeply unsettling folk horror nightmare that would influence a wave of films including WITCHFINDER GENERAL and THE EXORCIST. In rural Southern Italy, an emotionally disturbed young woman (a frighteningly committed, spider-walking Daliah Lavi) turns to witchcraft to curse her former lover. But is her increasingly alarming behavior due to obsession or possession?
