Lisa And The Devil

Lisa e il diavolo

Regarded as Mario Bava's most personal and unconventional film, LISA AND THE DEVIL is a diabolical thriller flavored with the dreadful imagery and tormenting logic of an endless nightmare.

Elke Sommer 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.

"This is a gorgeous film that takes place in a metaphysical hell where logic breaks down in nightmarish ways. But then again, its completely ambiguous storyline leaves the viewer pondering long after the it's over. Mysterious, creepy, and beautiful, LISA AND THE DEVIL is required viewing for the serious horror fan." Marco Lanzagorta, PopMatters
