Viewing Notes

Wild trippy flick that was a treat to see in 35mm. Really doesn’t fit in any category… young woman has ESP and can see things and her brother buys a giant plastic dome to place out on Table Rock in Taney County, Missouri. Along comes a rock band (kinda jangly surf rock type) and discover the girl’s ability so they exploit it creating a local attraction. Things continue to get weird. What a film.

Not on dvd.
