Release

Spell was distributed in Italy by Stefano Film on 20 May 1977 as Spell – Dolce mattatoio (transl. Spell – Sweet Abattoir).[3][4] After a short run in Italy, it was released as L'uomo, la donna e la bestia (transl. The Man, the Woman and the Beast) to capitalize on the popularity of Walerian Borowczyk's La Bête.[4] Cavallone commented on the re-titling of the film as "very irritating" and that the re-release was "definitely a shitty title."[4]

Reception

In contemporary reviews, Leonardo Autera of Corriere della Sera stated that the film was "redundant, clunky, and amateurishly acted and ultimately, lacking any semblance of style"[5][6]
