Each October, the Unsung Horrors podcast does a month of themed movies. This year they will once again be setting up a fundraiser to benefit Best Friends, which is working to save the lives of cats and dogs all across America, giving pets second chances and happy homes.

Today’s theme: Hail Satan

Teresita (Imma de Santis) may be a Catholic schoolgirl, but that doesn’t mean that she can’t be obsessed by a statue of a man in a dark suit, a man (José Lifante) that soon begins to follow her through her dreams. Her father (Luis Prendes) decides that she needs the help of psychologist Dr. Liza Greene (Maria del Puy), who tries to work with her but starts to lose control as Teresita becomes more violent, all while Dr. Greene’s secret lover Dr. Jack Morris (Jack Taylor) begins to abuse her.

That said, nothing will prepare you for how deranged Teresita becomes. She sneaks into a child’s hospital room and turns off his oxygen, kills her mother (Alicia Altabella) by shoving her off a balcony, murders the butler’s dog and then watches as he has a heart attack.

Of course Dr. Greene should adopt her.

There is no exorcism or religion in this. Just possession and people trying to deal with their lives because everyone in this treats one another horribly. And then, hands come out of the walls and grab young girls.

Also: How strange is it that this movie has a Tall Man in it who constantly appears well-dressed and surrounded by fog? You may known the actor who played him as the photographer in Let Sleeping Corpses Lie.

I want to know how Dr. Greene is a psychologist when we see her experimenting with electric eels and how a doctor could suddenly adopt one of their patients. I know it’s a movie, much less a Spanish ripoff, but man, these are the things that I worry about. Another question is why does Teresita have such weird stuffed animals that look like piranha?

By the end, the demon has transferred to the healer, who is frothing at the mouth and holding scissors. We don’t get any resolution, but for a film that is about a young girl and a woman unable to connect to others emotionally (and sexually, if we are to believe the things that Morris says to our doctor protagonist), ending with the idea that they’re about to use scissors on Teresita’s father makes it seem like the demon has helped at least one of them work through their problems. And look, even after being burned, those weird stuffed fish have come back.
