Plot – Spoilers:
A witch has survived through the ages, driven by the ambition of being deflowered by the right man or the devil himself. In her current phase, she’s Maddalena, being dissected by a bunch of skeptical psychiatrists. Except for the young Davide, who tries initially to not bite on her troll attempts, but is soon bewitched enough to experience visions and dreams of traveling through the centuries.
The extremely attractive Beatrice Dalle with her glorious gapped teeth as a wannabe witch. A sex scene with rapid-paced Italian leading up to orgasm. And general witchery. Not truly effed up, but could appeal to many here.

im the third to comment – BEATRICE DALLE
It’s shit.
I hated every minute they played that anoying sound to create tension. Worst movie I’ve watched in a while. Don’t waste your time
Awesome movie… thanks for this one.
Although I have a lot of disdain for David- he’s rather unfaithful for such a commitment. I felt sad for his wife.
Here’s the plot: A smug, arrogant psychiatrist has a wife that is jealous because she feels he is attracted to a sexy mental patient who believes she is 357 years old. I kept the sound down so the dialog was barely audible because you never knew when the psychiatrist and the dance troupe were going to burst in to song and dance with crashing cymbals, screeching violins and blaring clarinets. From about 40:00 to 48:00 in the film is the “fire dance sequence,” possibly the most annoying 8 minutes I have ever seen in a film that had me reaching for the Advils. About an hour into the movie I almost bailed out but I stuck with it till the end. Sure enough, it sucked all the way through. The “actors” look like they are from a theatre dance group that tried to put their stage play on film but it became a disastrous and expensive failure. I really don’t think I could despise a movie more than this one.
