5/10
The devil is one sexy beast.

That's the message of this D grade supernatural horror film, better than I expected, mainly because of the large ensemble of D list actors who give it their all. Coming off one of the great tragedies of her life (the sudden death of sister Natalie), Lana Wood poured herself into work with projects like this and the soap opera "Capitol". I can't see this aiding in her psychological state of the time as her character is going through real hell thanks to the sexual torment she faces in erotic nightmares with a handsome exotic looking man, Kabir Bedhi, the studliest middle eastern actor outside of Omar Sharif.

It's no surprise that John Carradine pops up in a cameo here as it seemed to be some running gag that he's in practically every horror or sci-fi movie ever made, or at least a large percentage of them. He has a very dramatic scene as a priest, conversing with Wood's troubled husband Don Galloway and her spiritual leader friend Britt Eklund who is trying to get to the bottom of the state Wood is in. Bedhi plays a mainly silent character, but his presence is stirring and dominant. The special effects seem cheesy in modern terms, but compared to other horror films of this era, it's a gem.
