A biker gang visits a monastery where they encounter black-robed monks engaged in worshipping Satan.

Viewing Notes

Possibly one the best examples of psychotronic cinema and 1970s grindhouse cinema. Bikers, satanic cultists and werewolves all rolled into one crazy flick. I’ve wanted to see this for a long time and every time it gets added to Prime it doesn’t stay around for long. So weird. So when it popped up again I didn’t hesitate to watch it.

Despite not being a very good movie it definitely delivers on that title, albeit in a very goofy way. The bikers visit a satanic church in the middle of nowhere where the cultists have a ritual that turns some of the bikers into werewolves. This would be an ideal flick to screen at one of the 24 hour marathons in the 2am slot.
