The quality of this video is for the lack of a better word, “horrible” It’s worse than VHS quality. I have powerful film correction software that can’t even begin to fix this damaged copy. It looks like a burn from an old VHS tape.It also needs color correction as well as stabalazation fine tunning.You can see the lines at the bottom of the picture. Very disappointed in this copy of an old VHS tape.
The first and only time I seen this movie was at the tender age of 3. I must say that I was scared as @#*? when my mom, aunt, and I left that theatre. Many years has past since that movie debuted and I still remember the name "ABBY". When you think of Abby, zombie like features, wild hair, disgusting vomit, and a demon possessed woman running toward the movie screen, comes to mind every time. But overall, after 30 years, I think it would be a good movie to watch on halloween.
Don't get this DVD. The quality is bad. They have the same copy up on YouTube that you can watch for free.
Good movie, unfortunately this DVD was copied from VHS instead of original Master therefore the quality and color is terrible. The price this is selling for is ridiculous and so not worth it. I paid $9.00 for my cheap copy, and I've purchased DVD for $4.99 that look better than this. This classic definitely needs a professional remastering from the original reels.
Great price! I was surprise they had this movie in stock.
Great story line
The wasn't clear at all. I wouldn't give any stars the only way to give a review , I have a lot of movies from the 70's was great, this one was lousy . I want another movie
This is a blaxploitation version of the exorcist.Good movie if you're into blaxploitation movies
Perhaps it was just me but the acting was not very convincing. Would not be in the running with "Carrie".
I expected clearer quality on the DVD, looks like it was a boot leg movies. Next time I will ask about the quality.
I seen this movie long time ago I gave it 4 stars cause I haven't watch it yet but I did soul searching on it to find this movie the price I paid was a little high for such an old movie.
This is a great old school movie.the ffirst time I seen this movie I was 10 years old.when VHS tapes first came out I looked for this movie I could'nt find it, 30 plus years later I got it thank you Amazon. I have bought Movies, CDs, Books that were hard to find but I found them on your site. Thank you again for your great work.
Abbey - The African American Exocist..... Oh well when you gone be bad...be bad....This is a fash from the past....Hiliarious!!!
I have wanted this film for some time and it was suppose to be in WIDE-SCREEN and REMASTERED...LIES...This is the worst piece of trash VHS to DVD I have ever bought(and I thought some silent films in my DVD collection were bad..NOT after getting this) Unless this a MUST have wait until a REAL film transfer comes out on DVD...I could hardly watch it with all the flips and jumps and darkness...what a rip off!!!
This was ordered for a family member. It arrived quickly, and was packaged well. He is happy to have it.
This is a very poor quality DVD; Looks like a bad VHS transfer, and the sound is equally poor. That's too bad because the plot is interesting, about a devout woman who becomes possessed by a sex demon (yikes!). William Marshall's in this one, a great classically trained actor, but actors have to eat too, and during the so-called blaxploitation era, movies like this abounded.Whoever owns the rights to Abby PLEASE consider a re-mastering of the source film!
This release uses a beat-up print that is alternately murky and washed-out, and at times even seems out of focus. One wouldn't expect Kurosawa when approaching a blaxploitation EXORCIST knockoff, but at this price one could at least expect a quality transfer. This DVD is simply not worth your money or your time, so steer clear.
Abby is a hilarious Blaxploitation knock-off of The Exorcist. Carol Speed really did a great job as a minister's wife who is possessed by an African sex demon. William Marshall was his usual awesome self as well. I'm just waiting for a remastered version. This Cinefear so-called Black Exorcist Edition is okay as long as nothing else is available but it's time for BCI, Anchor Bay, or someone with clout to put out a quality dvd. After years of Beyond The Door, The Omen, and countless other possession films, it's time for Warner Brothers to stop tripping (if they still are) and let somebody give Abby the treatment it deserves. Cinefear has made more than enough money with their grainy, scratchy, hand me down offering.
I been waiting for this movie to come out for over 20+ years. I enjoyed this movie it kept me on my toes.
Purchased this because I enjoy B horror movies and because it was filmed in my hometown.Just so you know, if it was not filmed in my hometown, I would still enjoy having this movie in my collection.PROS: One of the best blaxploitation films. The corny, over-the-top acting is sure to entertain. Worthy to be labeled a 70s "midnight" or "grindhouse" film.CONS: If you're like me, you enjoy a gitty, sometimes poor, film quality. It sets the right mood for a film of this type. However, beware, there is a mix of poor quality that suggest this version was transfered from a VHS version. Poor video and poor film quality are much different.
