OVERALL: Draw
The Region 2 UK DVD combines most of the extras from the US and Italian sets while the Koch edition has exclusive extras (not all English-friendly).
General notes:
Original version from Mario Bava in 1972 was named "Lisa and the Devil AKA Lisa e il diavolo". Producer Alfredo Leone re-cut the film in 1975, with new scenes and story, and re-release the film under the name "The House of Exorcism AKA La Casa dell'esorcismo".
All versions of Lisa and the Devil are missing part of Sylva Koscina's murder due to issues with the elements (the uncut version appears in The House of Exorcism).
This film is also known as:
- "El Diablo se lleva a los muertos"
- "Il Diavolo e i morti"
- "Der Teuflische"
- "The Devil and the Dead"
- "The Devil in the House of Exorcism"
