The title Abby might sound like a ’70s sitcom (I can hear the theme song now: “Abby, she’s crabby…kind of stabby.”), but it’s in fact a blaxploitation horror movie that plays out unabashedly in the vein of The Exorcist. In fact, it came dangerously close to being called Blackorcist, and while that tile may have been distinctly cheesier, it may have helped prevent the film from being swept under the rug for decades like it was. Despite an opening full of corny, overly expository dialogue, the film settles down into a level of entertaining schlock that pushes the same shock buttons that The Exorcist pushed (albeit with a much lower budget): over-the-top profanity and sexuality, levitation, facial disfigurement, and, of course, mouth froth. What could be outright camp, though (given the tagline, “Abby doesn’t need a man anymore…The devil is her lover!”), is treated with a straight face, despite the fact that the demon that possesses Abby (Carol Speed) looks like a Play Dough rendition of the Incredible Hulk.
