“Scary trash”~Roger Ebert

Aroview: Italio-American supernatural horror from the fabulously monikered Ovidio Assonitis starring the esteemed Juliet Mills as a San Francisco housewife who becomes demonically possessed in the midst of a pregnancy.

Critically mauled as a knock-off of THE EXORCIST from just the year before, it prompted Warner Bros. to file a lawsuit after this blatant imitator hit paydirt at the box office.
