When his son dies in childbirth, American diplomat secretly adopts an orphan boy born on the same day, but unfortunately he turns out to be the Antichrist. This religion-tinted horror movie came in the wake of The Exorcist. It is a delightfully low-key picture, which is intermittently creepy and silly. Followed by several sequels and a remake in 2006.
