The Mephisto Waltz (1971)

In the dramatic underbelly of classical music, we meet Myles Clarkson, a rising pianist and keen journalist, whose life takes a haunting turn following a long-awaited interview with the renowned, yet ailing, concert pianist Duncan Ely. Unknown to Myles, Ely harbors a chilling secret in his heart — he is a Satanist, his soul steeped in the dark arts. As the final notes of Ely's life begin to play, an arcane ritual is performed, transferring the maestro's soul into the unwitting Myles at the moment of the elder man's death. Suddenly caught in a macabre melody of existence, Myles' behavior takes a sinister shift, a transformation not unnoticed by his wife, Paula. Drawn into this malevolent concerto, Paula soon finds herself entangled in Ely's wicked circle, her reality warped by a crescendo of soul-swapping, demonic possession, and the unveiling of ominous family secrets. "The Mephisto Waltz" harmonizes the rhythm of suspense with the symphony of the supernatural, crafting a captivating tale of one man's desperate yearning for eternal youth and his dark pact to continue his piano legacy. The plot dances on the edge of reality, pulling you into the mesmerizing and terrifying world of a soul trapped in a twisted nocturne of existence.
