10 Exotic Cult Movies From Around The World

8. Lorna The Exorcist (1974 - France)

Lorna The Exorcist Patrick made a deal with his ex lover Lorna (Pamela Stanford) that she would give him wealth in return for Patrick handing over his daughter Linda (Lina Romay) to her on her 18th birthday. Lorna is a witch and exerts a lot of power over Linda. And that is the plot in a nutshell. Neither one of director Jess Franco's greatest films nor one of his worst, Lorna the Exorcist treads the tightrope between both stalls. The character of Lorna and her scary make up is one of Franco's most surreal creations. In the film, Franco sacrifices having a logical plot and exciting developments in order to showcase lots of lesbian sex scenes. One particularly memorable moment comes when Lorna invites Linda to nurse at her breasts and then does strange things to her with a dildo. There is also a really cool scene featuring crabs which is gaining near legendary status among Franco fans. Those of you who are Lina Romay enthusiasts will enjoy (almost) every inch of her body in this film. It is a strange and hypnotic tale, seething with Franco's own personal perversions which will make it inaccessible for 99 % of people.
