“Abby doesn't need a man anymore... the Devil is her lover now!”
Directed by William Girdler
The premise
When a minister's wife becomes possessed by Eshu, the Nigerian god of sexuality, an exorcist is called in to drive the evil spirit away.
Horror Vault's take
When an archaeologist husband unleashes an ancient Nigerian deity, his minister daughter-in-law begins a terrifying transformation that tears her life apart. Rooted in Yoruba mythology rather than the familiar Western demonology, Abby brings a distinctly cultural flavor to the possession subgenre. As her behavior grows increasingly dangerous and erratic, the family must decide how far they will go to reclaim the woman they love. This blaxploitation-era chiller offers a raw, grindhouse energy that sets it apart from its big-budget contemporaries.
