Release
Spell was distributed in Italy by Stefano Film on 20 May 1977 as Spell – Dolce mattatoio (transl. Spell – Sweet Abattoir).[3][4] After a short run in Italy, it was released as L'uomo, la donna e la bestia (transl. The Man, the Woman and the Beast) to capitalize on the popularity of Walerian Borowczyk's La Bête.[4] Cavallone commented on the re-titling of the film as "very irritating" and that the re-release was "definitely a shitty title."[4]
Reception
In contemporary reviews, Leonardo Autera of Corriere della Sera stated that the film was "redundant, clunky, and amateurishly acted and ultimately, lacking any semblance of style"[5][6]
gollark: @6_4 Skynet has not and never will do that.
gollark: Though I don't know of other modern ones.
gollark: It's custom and kind of bad.
gollark: I'll look into it.
gollark: Okay, honestly it probably just randomly broke.
