Lisa and the Devil (1974)

Starring: Elke Sommer, Telly Savalas
Director: Mario Bava

Premise:
Lisa gets lost as she tours an old European city. She finds shelter in a mansion and gets help from the family living there. Soon she suspects not all is at it appears.

My Take:
A dreamy and moody piece of film from director Bava. Top notch acting from the cast headed by the creepy Telly Savalas and the Elke Sommer. It also has a ending which caught me a off guard. Definitely fun to watch but not something I could see every watching again.

Rating: In the Middle (very positive)
