Naked Evil (1966)


Directed by Stanley Goulder
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Image Entertainment)

Jamaican students at an English college sing songs at dinner, play jazz at the local nightclub and threaten each other with obis, a sort of Jamaican Molotov cocktail: a bottle filled with dirt from a grave and chicken feathers sticking out of the top. Receivers of an obi are doomed to death, including the president of the college. The police start investigating and the real motives are much less sinister. An exorcism of the end lasts all of one line and less than a minute, with the spirit leaving the body and crashing through a window in a burst of wind.
