This film has been out of circulation in the U.S. for several years (even to the extent that it has never been officially released on home video in any form in the U.S. to this day) after Warner Bros. sued American International Pictures, claiming that it was a ripoff of their film, L'esorcista (1973). Although the film was very profitable for AIP (its budget was approx. $200,000 and it earned $4 million in its first month of release), its producer/director William Girdler never saw one cent of the profits due to the lawsuit, which was finally settled shortly before his death in 1978; however, it turned out to be too little, too late as far as the film was concerned.

pretty good, very 1970s*, surprisingly foul language!

"The Blackorcist," as this was supposedly nearly called, is actually not as blatant a rip-off of Exorcist, The (1973) as Chi sei? (1975) AKA Beyond the Door, or Seytan (1974) AKA The Turkish Exorcist. The latter in particular steals many scenes shot-for-shot (though not actual footage), but does actually steal same recording of the music "Tubular Bells."

Abby is pretty enjoyable. I saw the Cinefear DVD of it, and hopefully some other company will be able to do a proper transfer of the film at some point. Credit to Cinefear for getting it out, though, and even including some extras.

Abby is sort of the equivalent of Linda Blair's character in The Exorcist, but Abby is not a young girl but a young married woman; her husband and father-in-law are both priests. I'm not certain what denomination they were. The father dresses like a Catholic priest with black shirt and white collar, but has a wife and son. The son wears a khaki shirt with a white collar.

The father unwittingly releases a demon in Africa, which for some reason possesses Abby in the US. The demon causes Abby to swear rather profusely - I was surprised.

If a new DVD is ever released, there was some Greek, Hindi, and an African language spoken by the demon and the priest, and it would be interesting to get some optional subtitles for those scenes. The text of the lawsuit against the movie would also be interesting.
