This film had nearly as many titles as Elizabeth Taylor had husbands. Its Italian name was "L'Ossessa," altered for its U.S. release to both "Enter the Devil" (Bruce Lee, anyone?) and "The Sexorcist" (figure it out). For its video release, it underwent two more name changes-- first to "The Devil Obsession," then to its most ridiculous title, "The Eerie Midnight Horror Show."Danila (Stella Carnacina) works as a restorer at an Italian art museum. When the museum acquires a centuries-old life-sized wooden statue of a crucified man, it affects Danila in strange ways. There is a dream sequence in which the statue comes to life and rapes her, which Danila quite enjoys. She begins to act out sexually, even trying to seduce her own father. Danila's parents call a doctor, who prescribes warm milk and a day in the country. (They'd be better off with the Rug Doctor.) The next night, Danila dreams that she's being nailed to a cross. When she wakes up with nail holes in her hands and feet, Danila's mother calls the doctor and says, "She's worse than before." Gee, ya think? And the doctor's reaction? "It's all rather strange." When a medical solution proves elusive, the parents call in—you guessed it—an exorcist, one of only a few left in the world. Good thing he happens to live nearby!Of course the exorcism works, though Father Xeno is killed in the process. (Gee, that's never been done before.) Not sure why he dies, though. The exorcism really doesn't take that long; and the worst thing Danila does to the priest is whack him with a chain. It's gotta hurt, but I'd hardly think it fatal.The demon himself must be low on Satan's totem pole. He just spent 500 years trapped in a statue. Now that he's out, the girl he possessed comes across as needing not an exorcist, but a sedative. With the demon inside her, Danila is either masturbating, slamming her head into solid objects, or thrashing about while she screams in abject terror. That's the ultimate evil???Director Mario Gariazzo included a bunch of sleazy sex scenes. But surprisingly for this type of film, they're quite reserved and rather dull. When a '70s Italian horror film can't even deliver a good sex scene, you know it's a piece of crap!

'The Eerie Midnight Horror Show' aka 'Enter the Devil' (1974) is a Euro-trash horror surrounding demonic possession of a young woman. It's an okay rip-off of 'The Exorcist (1973)' - mildly entertaining.The beginning of this film did not do much for me - in fact it bored me. But I continued to watch it anyway (I gave it a chance) and the movie got better. The last 20 to 30 minutes of the film is good.I was hoping to like this film better than what I do. I like it to a degree but the beginning of the film I found to be quite a bore. It's not to bad of a movie if you are looking for another film on demons possessing someone.4/10

This is a barely watchable Italian version of THE EXORCIST, which came out just a year earlier. You got some weird scenes that at least kept me mildly interested. Sex scene with a woman getting whipped with roses and getting sliced-up by the thorns, possessed gal diddling herself and looking for some action from her dad(who gives her a nice hard smack in the mouth for her incestuous advances). There's even a puking scene like the EXORCIST but instead of pea-soup there's some nasty looking green milk product. It ends up with a silly-dick priest giving a half-assed exorcism which somehow works.For a better Italiano version of the Linda Blair classic I'd recommend THE ANTICHRIST from the same year. It ends up with a silly-dick priest giving a half-assed exorcism which somehow works.

Out of the handful of alternative titles in English, "The Sexorcist" is definitely the most appropriate one, since this is basically just a shameless rip off of William Friedkin's classic horror film in which they replaced 13-year-old Linda Blair with the 19-year-old Stella Carnacina only so that she could gratuitously show her ravishing naked body. I'm not sure what exactly Satan tries to accomplish here, but he exclusively seems to possess the young girl to play sexual tricks on her! Poor Danila masturbates around the clock and tries to seduce priests and even her own father into having sex with her. The young girl is introduced as a smart and ambitious theology-student with an odd-looking boyfriend (driving a stupid yellow car) and loving, albeit adulterous parents. When she takes a peculiar crucifix home to renovate, the ancient relic comes to life and no less than Satan himself (played by Ivan Rassimov of "Jungle Holocaust" and "Planet of the Vampires") starts to torment her. The overlong masturbation sessions and some bizarre nightmare sequences cover about three quarters of the movie, and then finally director Mario Garriazzo begins with the actual exorcism. That final segment is even more embarrassing and amateurish! The priests don't really do anything apart from saying some vague prayers but, somehow, Danila seems cured all of a sudden. There isn't much gore, the dialogues are horrible and the producers seem to compensate every little flaw by adding more sleaze! This is one of the strangest Italian exploitation efforts of the seventies (why the hell are they referring to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"?), but definitely not one of the best. If you fancy clones of "The Exorcist", I recommend "Demon Witch Child", "Beyond the Door" and "The Antichrist".
