Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film was originally supposed to get a bigger domestic theatrical release in America, but the studio executive who supported the film was fired and replaced by another person who decided to give this film a more limited theatrical release instead. As a direct result of this, plans for a potential sequel were eventually abandoned altogether despite the fact that this movie did well in various foreign territories.
- Quotes
George Miller: [Begging Vito] NO MORE... NO MORE
Vito Minelli Sr.: [as he posesses George once again] ONCE MORE
- Alternate versionsThe Dutch version is the only fully uncut one. All other versions (Greek, Japanese, Australian, US, German, UK...) are cut in gore scenes, basically because they are based on the R-Rated US-Version. The Australian Rental Tape, the German and the UK Version are even more cut than the USA R-Rated version.

Featured review
Surprisingly good!
A plain, somewhat overweight, nerdy-looking man stands on the edge of the roof of the Don Hotel (no "tiny bubbles" jokes in the movie, though). From the masks on the people below, we can tell it's Halloween. He jumps, and the monsters below look sad. We see the tunnel of light, but a burnt or mutated face appears as emergency responders try to revive him.
In the hospital, he's rehabilitated, though he now walks with a cane and limp. The people in the Don Hotel, a somewhat strange bunch, are sympathetic, as is a neighborhood hooker he's friendly with. However, he has horrible vivid nightmares involving murder. Additionally, while he paints blood appears out of nowhere, and does at other times too and isn't just a hallucination it seems.
In the nightmares, he visits people and brutally kills them with some sort of telepathic abilities while his eyes glow. In the morning, the deaths are in the paper. Though there aren't a lot of murders, the scenes are pretty strong. One begins with some particularly graphic (possibly real) shots of a slaughterhouse. The way a man dies there is quite memorable.
While a Catholic priest works at the hospital, and the main character visits a church, the one attempt at exorcism is done by a "Dr. Rasta"! Perhaps more surprisingly, he's a friend of the hooker.
