Blasphemy, Sacrilege, Black Masses, Orgies, Demonic possession, and Murder!

After photographing a naked woman at a waterfall, and discovering she was absent from all photos, Peter (Jean-Claude Vernè) returns to the scene only to find a mysterious “Tahal” pendant that initiates a hysterical and sex-crazed possession. As Peter spirals into baffling madness, people start to die in inexplicable ways prompting Peter’s nun sister, Elena (Patrizia Gori, Cry of a Prostitute), to call an exorcist (veteran actor Richard Conte — The Godfather, in his last role) to rid him of the insidious demon!  

Directed by Angelo Pannacciò (Sex of the Witch) and Luca Damiano, Cries and Shadows emerges as one of the sleaziest Italian possession films produced in the wake of The Exorcist! By the power of Christ, Cauldron Films is compelled to bring you the longest version available. Scanned from the original negative, restored in 2K with all the nastiest bits intact on Blu-ray for the first time worldwide, loaded with extras, including CD soundtrack by Giuliano Sorgini!
