Max Von Sydow (Ming the Merciless) is one of them religious sorts...Priests I think they're called. So, Max hears about this girl, she's about ten ish, seems to have a tendency to swivel her head (all the way around-odd really), is clearly not a fan of pea green soup (given her capacity for regurgitation) and is able to contort her body to the point she can descend stairs backwards and inverted...bravo!
I kid you not, this is a wonderfully...scary film!
Standing, even now as the most profitable horror film of all time, a budget of $12-15,000,000 can easily be justified when the studio reaps returns of over half a billion dollars. There are numerous sequels, as you might imagine...I urge you to give 'em a miss, really not worth it. Stick to the cult classic.
Fun Fact: Mike Oldfield did the music. The cinemas also provided 'barf bags' for viewers...just in case.
