CHALLENGE THE DEVIL

In the most obscure film of his early 1960s Italian period -- if not his entire career -- Christopher Lee stars in this bizarre combination of neo-realist crime thriller, tawdry Christian melodrama, fizzy cabaret musical and trippy gothic horror. The movie culminates with a gang of bongo-crazed delinquents menaced by a sinister, white-haired Victorian (Lee) who may be Satan himself! Also known as KATARSIS and undiscovered for 50 years, CHALLENGE THE DEVIL is now available for the first time in theaters, scanned from the original Italian negative.
