Question
I need the title of a movie that I partially saw when I was a kid.  All that I know is that it's from the 70s and the part that has always stuck with me is that there is an old guy, kind of looks like a priest but isn't and there is a little girl that has been taken and she is lying down and he marks her on the forehead with a cross in ash.  I also remember her running with I think her mom.  Unfortunatly that is all I can remember.  Please if you can figure this one out that will be great.  

Answer
Hi, Diana...

Sorry it's taken me so long with this, but I could not get confirmation on a theory... I am almost positive that the film you are looking for is "Burnt Offerings." It was made during the aftermath of "The Exorcist," when Satan and possession were big in movies...

Hope this helps,

I am a devout fan of horror films, from the Universal classics to the schlock of the 50`s, on through the 70`s to the splatter era, and straight up to "28 Days Later." Tom Savini films are an extra treat. Ask me about "Knightriders" if you don`t believe me. Anyone else own a copy of that classic?
