Digital Dismemberment

In our Digital Dismemberment spotlights this evening, we will once again have a Scream Factory Double Feature as we review A Dragonfly For Each Corpse and Exorcism, both part of the 5 disc “Paul Naschy Collection” on Blu-Ray.

A Dragonfly For Each Corpse is a 1974 Spanish film inspired by popular Italian Giallo films of the 70s. A black gloved killer is cleaning up the streets of Milan by murdering those considered as deviant. An ornamental dragonfly, soaked in the blood of the victim, is left on each body. And it’s up to Inspector Paolo Scaporella (played by Naschy) to solve the crime along with his amateur detective girlfriend Silvana.

Exorcism (Exorcismo) is a 1975 Spanish horror film directed by Juan Bosch [as Joan Bosch] from a screenplay co-written with Jordi Gigó [as Georges Gigo] and Jacinto Molina. The latter stars, using his screen name, Paul Naschy, in one of  his most commercial outings. A young woman (Grace Mills) participates – unknowingly – in a satanic ceremony and becomes possessed by the spirit of her late father. A priest (Naschy) must save her from evil.
