L' Ossessione che uccide (1980)

I'm not sure if this film has been discussed before. I think the US title is/was The Wailing?
I've read some reviews and thought it sounded kinda interesting (it has Laura Gemser in it

).
Released on video by Wizard back then.
Anybody seen this?

Yep. Wizard Video released it under the title "Fear." Pretty nifty supernatural giallo. And talk about box art!

Ah yes! That's the one! Damn, why did I never watch this? They used to have zillion of copies back in the days at our local video store and for some dumb reason I never rented it.
I wonder if there are any DVD release plans for this title?

Hellbilly - you should be ashamed! Pretty damn cool movie. I don't think there's a DVD in the works for this one, so you might as well try 'n find the VHS - it's worth it!

Yup, I could bite my ass for never watching this. I'll try to track down the tape if possible.

Can't believe nobody else besides you knows or seen this film though. From the sound of it this one seems to be very good, IMO.

I finally watched this and thought it was pretty good. A bit bizarre as well. Interesting soundtrack includes classic and electronic music, some neat but brief gore and a rather jaw-dropping nightmare sequence. Fans of Laura Gemser should definitely check this one out. The DVD (VideoAsia) seems to be a port from the old Wizard tape but the transfer is quite solid. My only gripe: it's fullscreen (of course) with tons of picture missing on both sides. A remastered widescreen release would be more then welcomed!
