Can Father Juan rescue Susan from destruction and conquer Gautère, or will she be doomed just by being in a ‘70s horror film? It doesn’t end there though Susan develops a talent for profanity and a proclivity to take on the appearance of Gautère when the really bad shit is about to go down. And in a nod (or appropriation, to-may-to, to-mah-to) to Miss Blair, a bedtime levitation. At the same time, Susan is given a necklace and amulet by a minion of Gautère’s when the old hag perishes, we see her spirit enter Susan’s body as she lay sleeping.
Racial profiling aside, Mother Gautère is taken into custody and admits to both crimes, but won’t say where the baby is kept under threat of sodium pentathol, she hurls herself through the precinct window to her death. (The only “tip” is that Mother is a Gypsy.) Police Commissioner Barnes (Angel del Pozo - Horror Express ) is visited by Father Juan (Julian Mateos - Four Rode Out ) to discuss the theft we’re introduced to Barnes’ daughter Susan ( Marián Salgado - Island of the Damned ) and her governess Anne (Lone Fleming - The Fourth Victim ) before Barnes vows to catch the thief - and follow through on the tip that Mother Gautère may be responsible for the theft and a recently missing baby. Pay no heed to the critics, who immediately dismissed this as another The Exorcist rip off instead, Demon Witch Child (aka La endemoniada and The Possessed ) picks some of the strangest angles to come at that revered material from - so much so that it ends up doing its own thing in peculiar and fun ways.Īn elderly and disheveled woman, M other Gautère (Tota Alba - Strange Voyage ), stumbles into an empty church and proceeds to desecrate the altar before stealing a chalice. Released in March in its native Spain, Demon Witch Child (a Rob Zombie song title if I’ve ever heard one) didn’t haunt Stateside drive-ins until May of the following year. This is the kind of title that conjures up images of crucifixes, and vomit, and crises of faith a title that demands you confront your own relationship with the spiritual and contextualize your role in existence. Here’s a title for you: Demon Witch Child (1975).
