The Possessed (aka La donna del lago) (1965) ****

An atmospheric, melancholic, noirish, gothic-flavored proto-giallo fever dream, exquisitely shot with a wonderfully ominous score, The Possessed (aka La donna del lago) (1965) is one of those films where solving the mystery is not important; it’s the journey that matters.

Recommended for fans of Carnival Of Souls (1962) (review), Diabolique (1955) (review), and Repulsion (1965).
