Viewing Notes

Total seventies satanic flick. This is a great example of a cool premise with lackluster execution that should be remade today. Kept envisioning Adam Driver as the lead magician having just seen him earlier today in THE LAST DUEL. Sadly this version uploaded to YT was edited so I checked and the VinSyn release is no longer in print. Too bad bc I think this is an interesting flick plus I love the satanic ritual stuff.

Was amusing to see adult film star Paul Thomas in this as a coke fiend bc a few years later he would be arrested for smuggling cocaine.
