Plot: Danila (Stella Carnacina) is a young art student with a keen mind for creative endeavors, as she seems to have a sixth sense about artistic creations. Even older, more experienced art experts consult her, as her knowledge is vast and she is able to pick up on nuances others would miss. Her parents make sure she is able to study important works and even examine lesser known projects, such as a wooden sculpture based on one of the thieves crucified next to Christ. She connects with the piece instantly, so her parents purchase it and she begins to study the sculpture and dissect how and why it was crafted as such. The piece is quite realistic and as Danila examines it, it comes to life and rapes her, though she wakes up after, as if in a nightmare. Soon Danila is possessed by some kind of powerful spirit, compelled to furiously masturbate and try to seduce her own father. Her dad blames this behavior on her mother being a total whore, but a priest is soon called in to perform an exorcism. But can Danial be saved or will her soul be consumed by this malevolent spirit?

Entertainment Value: Also known as Enter the Devil and The Sexorcist, The Eerie Midnight Horror Show is an Italian knock off of The Exorcist. But as we’ve seen with Cathy’s Curse and numerous other possession cash-in attempts, being a knock off can lead to some wild entertainment. Here we see a spirit break out of a religious artifact and try to turn a young woman into a ravenous sexual beast and if that doesn’t sound good, I don’t know what does. This is obviously not high art or deep narrative, but for those who appreciate off the wall movies and foreign knock offs, this one holds quite a bit of appeal. This movie is littered with outlandish performances, oddball moments, and ridiculous dialogue, all of which are things I love about cinema. Stella Carnacina is a lot of fun as the possessed Danila, doing all kinds of over the top things with wild abandon, just as the role should be played. You also have to mention Ivan Rassimov, who has a memorable and wild performance here as well. The Eerie Midnight Horror Show is a lot of things, but boring isn’t one of them, filled with outrageous moments and unintended humor. I would recommend this to anyone who appreciates cinematic rip offs, batshit crazy films, or religious/possession horror.

This one has some fun sleaze, but not an abundance of naked flesh. A scene with Lucretia Love has her showing off all of her assets, while being flogged by a handful of roses. This one has breasts, bare ass, and bush, all with the added bonus of rabid whipping and a fun dialogue payoff later in the movie. The other nude scene is when Stella Carnacina has her clothes literally ripped off by the religious sculpture come to life, then finds herself raped by the wild eyed maniac. There’s some blood, but none of it is graphic and there aren’t over the top fountains of the red stuff. The highlight is probably when Danial is crucified, which features some better than expected effects as the nails are driven in. The rest of the blood is minor, such as the rose flogging scene and when Danila scratches herself during a frantic muff rubbing session. The dialogue is beyond outlandish and consistently delivers moments of ridiculousness and just hilarious lines. Slut shaming abounds, especially when Danila’s father blames her condition on her mother’s whore lifestyle. Some great mean spirited lines and plenty of dysfunction, fun stuff. This is a wild ride, with insane performances, horrible but priceless dialogue, and a good sleazy atmosphere. Perhaps not as off the deep end as it could have been, but still pretty out there.
