All right, I start again with a fascinating and somewhat distraught movie named The Possession of Joel Delaney from 1972!
Cast:
Shirley MacLaine - Norah Benson
and introducing Perry King - Joel Delaney
David Elliot - Peter Benson
Lisa Kohane - Carrie Benson
and many more
Story:
Norah, a divorced mother of two kids, takes care as well of her younger brother, Joel, yet he seems to be different from time to time, with speaking Spanish and all. Like a different man. Yet Norah still protects him after Joel attacks a man and lands in an asylum. From then it goes slowly down. He doesn't take care of his niece and nephew anymore and just is obsessed. It goes that far with killing people, beheading them and more, and at the very end he even threatens his own family. Making them dance, take off their clothes, eat dog food and more - until Norah sends her kids away and Joel still follows. An officer shoots him, yet Norah leans over him as he died and takes the knife. Is the possession now in her?
Wow, what a movie! As said above, fascinating and distraught at the same time. Perry King plays well here. His first big role. No words.
