While visiting Toledo, Spain, American tourist Lisa Reiner (Elke Sommer) experiences a feeling of deja vu when she sees an ancient mural of the Devil carrying away the dead. Hearing a familiar melody, she wanders away from her companions into a series of encounters with men who inexplicably recognize her from a past life. Hopelessly lost as night falls, Lisa begs a ride from a passing Packard, which breaks down outside a mansion where a young man (Alessio Orano) lives with his blind mother (Alida Valli) and a charming butler (Telly Savalas), who just happens to resemble the Devil from the mural! After a night of murder, necrophilia and horrific revelations, Lisa comes face-to-face with the secrets of her past identity and her connection to the bizarre rituals she has witnessed. This is the original Mario Bava film later reworked and reshot for American release as "The House of Exorcism."

other title: 那夜四次 / Quante volte... quella notte
这个导演十分可恶,先极尽勾引诱惑之能事,逐步升级,把你搞得遐想连翩,简直都要控制不住了,然后兜头一盆冷水,一下浇灭了你的热情如火,让你不禁质疑起自己的性心理——我真的如此丑陋?真的不能把别人当作有人格的人来尊重,而只把他们当成欲望的工具?我的欲望本身难道不是丑陋的吗? 他其实在抨击现代传媒方式,是媒体把人们变成了这样——我要满足我要爽,而这并不是生活的真相,真正的美好常常与爽无关。 虽然手法有些恶劣,但其实,他是想要传达一些信息,帮助你改善自己的生活。
