StyleAlthough the film is often described as a giallo, film historian Roberto Curti stated it only becomes a violent murder mystery about an hour into the film.{{sfn|Curti|2017|p=58}} Curti described the giallo trademarks of violent murders and a twist ending are marginal when compared to other films of the genre at the time.{{sfn|Curti|2017|p=58}} Curti opined the film was one like a perverse kammerspiel which borrowed from both gothic and avant-garde theatre.{{sfn|Curti|2017|p=58}} ProductionFollowing his return from Vietnam where he was a freelance photographer, director Romano Scavolini returned to his native Italy where he started his film career again as a genre filmmaker.{{sfn|Curti|2017|p=58}} ReleaseSpirits of Death was released in Italy on 30 November 1972.{{sfn|Curti|2017|p=57}} The film grossed 65.564 million Italian lire in Italy on its release.{{sfn|Curti|2017|p=57}} When the film was released in France, it was titled Exorcisme tragique to try and bank on the popular success of The Exorcist.{{sfn|Curti|2017|p=60}} ReceptionIn a retrospective review, Curti stated that Scavolini's direction and Fiorenzo Carpi's score "cannot overcome the script's many shortcoming–namely, sketchily developed characters, pretentious dialogue, heave-handed symbolism."{{sfn|Curti|2017|p=59}} Scavolini later referred to the film as a film "which only deserve to be forgotten"{{sfn|Palmerini|Mistretta|1996|p=127}} See also
