Viewing Notes

Had this on my wishlist for a long time then it finally got a good release recently but I found it on Tubi and decided to watch it there bc the ratings are low, odd for a Martino flick. Now I know why! Not good!

One where it’s not greater than the sum of its parts but somehow lesser. Martino, Gastaldi and Frizzi together should produce something p darn good. But this is a weird mess. I do like Elvire Audray in the lead but everything else is subpar. Frizzi’s score is good until you recognize it from THE BEYOND.

Not the worst thing but a real misfire for this group. Glad I didn’t plunk down $25 for the Blu-ray.
