Question
I was wondering if you can identify a movie I recall seeing as a child in 1977. The only details I can remember is the movie being about a teenage boarding school student or even possibly a young nun. I remember a scene with a large cement slab table in the woods with blood all over it which was used for human sacrifice.
There was another scene where a baby is crushed between two cement slabs. And the only other scene I recall was of the young girl had 666 on her head.

Answer
Hi Lisa,

Not quite sure what this one is although I will take a 'stab' at it and say it's a 1978 Mexican film called "Alucarda" (aka "Sisters of Satan"). A plot summary for this film is as follows:

"A young girl's arrival at a convent after the death of her parents marks the beginning of a series of events that unleash an evil presence on the girl and her mysterious new friend, an enigmatic figure known as Alucarda. Demonic possession, Satan worship, and vampirism follows."

Or, it could be the 1970 American TV movie "Crowhaven Farm", here:

Other than that, I'm not too sure. Hope you manage to find the film you're looking for.

Best of luck!
