Help: who knoes this movie's title ?

Something I've seen long long ago. Could it be a movie from the 70's or perhaps 80's.
Don't remember much, but it's about the Antichrist, I believe. In the opening there is this ritual were the victim is suspended upside down (it's from a tree, in a forest at night. again iirc). The officiant hooks up some long hooks all around her face. The hooks end in a loop, where the guy puts his finger, then a twist and ouch the face comes off and is then used for summoning the antichrist. The hooks play some important role throughout the movie.
Anyway, the thing just resurfaced to my mind and it would be great if somebody knew the title. Maybe Netflix has it.
Thanks.
