Summaries

A satire on the American film "The Exorcist," but with an Italian twist.

Mimmo Baldi plays Luigi, the overweight son of a town mayor (Lino Banfi), who finds a strange amulet and takes it home. The demons inside the amulet begin possessing the entire family. A conman, who pretends to be an exorcist tries to help, but ends up possessed as well.—Ørnås

From the depths of history and the sands of Iran, an evil-imbued artefact finds its way to a small town near Rome, and then, in the hands of the mayor's unsuspecting eight-year-old son, Luigino. As the cursed amulet infects all those around it with its diabolical force, the experienced paranormal investigator known only as the "Esorciccio", finds himself with the back to the wall, having to deal with an onslaught of demonic possessions. Can the grizzled exorcist cast out the controlling spirits, Italian style?—Nick Riganas
