Lisa and the Devil

1974 · 95 min

A dreamlike, disorienting drift through decaying rooms and uncanny doubles, more hypnotic than frightening, leaving a lingering chill of unreality.

Tagline: Every corner of the soul is lost to the icy clutch of the supernatural!
Overview: Lisa is a tourist in an ancient city. When she gets lost, she finds an old mansion in which to shelter. Soon she is sucked into a vortex of deception, debauchery and evil presided over by housekeeper Leandre.
