David DeCoteau on

Beyond the Door

Released 1975
Distributor Film Ventures International

Ovidio Assonitis (credited as Oliver Hellman) directed this popular Exorcist rip-off, which inspired an unsuccessful lawsuit from Warner Bros. An open season of further Exorcist copies followed at home and abroad, but this was the trailblazer. Pregnant Juliet Mills alarms hubby Richard Johnson when she’s possessed by a projectile-vomiting demon. It was successful enough to inspire distributors to give otherwise unrelated films release titles like Beyond the Door II and Beyond the Door III–although the original Italian title was Chi Sei? (Who Are You?).
