The Possession of Joel Delaney (1972)
Offensive and sinful !!!
I've read the novel by Ramona Stewart years ago and I never knew it was adapted to a movie. I expected a lot since the novel was well written(but not a great one). But this film doesn't even feel like it's adapted from the novel. The main plot is completely altered and they included an unthinkable ending(that strip scene of the little boy is not even remotely mentioned in the novel). Since I'm dealing with psychology stuff everyday (it's my job) I always connect the movies I watch with human psychology. I'm pretty sure the people who wrote the script and those who approved to film something evil and disgusting like that, have some mental derangement. For those people who think that kind of an ending was necessary: just imagine about the person who suggested that scene, what type of mind does he has? And I don't think the nudity was unintended. How the parents of that child be so stupid (does they even knew about paedos?) I think the child actor participated should sue the studio for distributing the film without even caring about blurring that scene. I think the director, someone called Waris Hussein (never even heard he existed) doesn't know the meaning of respect, atleast to the child actors involved. He's a shame to the film industry who insulted and disrespected a child who trusted and participated on making this film. Stay away from this one for your own peace of mind.
