Shock
Directed by Mario Bava
A woman becomes convinced her son is possessed by his father’s spirit in this fearsome finale to horror master Mario Bava’s brilliant career. After a breakdown, Dora (SUSPIRIA’s Daria Nicolodi) returns home. But her son’s unusually bad behavior leaves her terrified. Is she losing it - or is her ex-husband’s ghost trying to kill her? Unlike the film’s awful offspring, Lamberto Bava coaxed his dad out of a deep depression by writing a script bursting with jump-out-of-your-seat scares he knew Mario would love. The result is a must-see for fans of both father and son.

Watch the last 20 or so minutes and save yourself an unnecessary hour.
I came for Daria Nicolodi, I stayed for the creepy kid, and I ended up enjoying this ride a lot.
Shock has one of the best jump scares ever. I love this film and as Bava's final film, he went out on a great one.
I wanted to beat that kid lol! The movie was okay but the kid was seriously annoying, and rotten! This movie is also billed as the sequel to "Beyond The Door" in the States. If you are a true horror buff you will find the pleasure in watching it... it's not for everyone!
I’ll admit, this took several tries to get into. Mario is still King, because the pay off was worth it.
