Lorna The Exorcist - 1974 - France

Lorna The Exorcist - 1974 - 5/10
AKA - Les Possedees du Diable

 
No, Lorna is not an exorcist, but instead a female Mephistopheles.
She makes the devil's bargain with down on his luck, impoverished Patrick.
Fortune, repute, happiness in exchange for his daughter once she turns eighteen.
Desperate - and childless - he agrees.
Nine months and almost eighteen years later, Lorna returns, ready to take possession.
Narrative is more linear and logical than the typical Jess Franco outing.
Sex sequences serve the plot - sometimes - and are not as clinically pornographic as other films.
Sideplot of one of Lorna's discards (and Franco himself as psychiatrist) is pointless.
20 year old Lina Romay fine as the daughter up for grabs.
