Magdalena la Sexorcisée

This cheesy, very West German "Exorcist" ripoff (not that it really follows the template of that movie beyond having a heroine who is possessed) starts out in such spectacularly energetic and sleazy fashion that for a while there I thought I had stumbled upon a hitherto unknown (to me at least) camp classic. Unfortunately, it gradually loses steam, and really just peters out at th end--there isn't even a climax, per se. Still, it earns points for shamelessness, tastelessness, gratuitous full-frontalism, and English dubbing that enhances dialogue that was no doubt terrible to begin with. I think this is the only horror movie by a director who otherwise worked entirely in German softcore films of the "Schoolgirl Report" variety, and he certainly sticks to what he knows here. It also appears to be the 2nd and last movie of the lead actress, and while she appears to be game enough, you can understand why maybe this crossed a line for her, one that hopefully people later in her life would be blissfully unaware of. (Unless you're the type of person who's happy with relatives looking at the photo album and saying "Oh look, here's another pic of young Grandma, extra-perky and starkers.") Anyway, ultimately a disappointment, but only because it's SO enjoyable for a while. Nonetheless, some big laughs here.
