Lisa and the Devil
Directed by Mario Bava
Mario Bava's most unusual film follows a tourist pulled into a hellish mystery. Elke Sommer (BARON BLOOD) stars as a tourist in Spain who, upon seeing the image of a bald, grinning devil in an ancient fresco, wanders away from her group and finds herself drawn into a confounding labyrinth of mystery "” lured ever deeper by a mysterious figure (Telly Savalas) who may in fact be the fresco's Satan made flesh. Will she escape? Or become Satan's bride? Bava's diabolical thriller is flavored with the dreadful imagery and tormenting logic of an endless nightmare. Contains strong language, sexual scenes, violence and gore.

Well that was rather bazaar, I felt like I was watching a very long episode of Dark Shadows (1966-1971) . Visuals were great the acting was certainly mellow dramatic and the plot was an interesting take on a classic ghost story we've all heard before. Great piece of 70's European horror. I will say Telly Savalas's performance stands out he was great in this film. I thoroughly enjoyed this piece of cinema with a hint of French new wave. Be prepared for a long haul. Thanks Shudder.
Like one long dream sequence

Maximilian be like "don't leave me with Sicilian Vin Diesel, you're so sexy..."
