Baron Gilles de Lancre (Paul Naschy) seeks out an alchemist in order to obtain the throne. Said alchemist agrees to help, but requires the blood of a young maiden.
After hurriedly obtaining and sacrificing the required lass, de Lancre awaits his new position.
Oh no!
It seems that before he can become Lord and Master, he must also get his mitts on the legendary Philosopher's Stone! In the meantime, he spends his time torturing and killing his subjects.
Much hocus pocus is employed, including the use of a rubber head in a bad wig as an oracle.
DEVIL'S POSSESSED is another fairly entertaining Naschy vehicle. He's always at his best when portraying eeevil, sadistic villains. Unfortunately, this movie contains several long stretches of dullness. Still, it's worth a viewing, especially for the Naschy fanatics out there...
