      Walter Chaw Film Freak Central A sharp rebuke to the type of cinephile who judges the temple of his experience too cramped and delicate to ever "stoop" to Ray Harryhausen or Italian zombie flicks Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 18, 2006 Full Review Matt Brunson Creative Loafing Engaging if erratic. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 23, 2006 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Talk to enough people and you can find someone willing to call just about anything a classic Rated: 2/5 Jun 20, 2006 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 16, 2005 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A sci-fi film, originally started as a student project...

      Bruce M ITS ONE OF THOSE HORROR B MOVIES WITH A BUNCH OF CLUES ACTORS BUT STILL FUN TO WATCH HERE AND THERE ! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review Donald B A cheap looking, low budget "horror" movie from 1970. Impossible to take seriously when the characters are constantly making the worst possible decisions. It goes without saying that the acting and effects are awful. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/08/20 Full Review delysid d forget what the haters say about this one,,, this movie was well wicked Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/18 Full Review Audience Member Definitely not as bad as everyone says it is. This is one of the ultimate cult films & main sources of inspiration for Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review joe m A really mixed bag of a film. A good v evil story revolving around an ancient, demonic grimoire. Doesn't quite make the grade as horror or fall so low as to be campy (though it would be a good MST3K candidate). The stop motion animation is ok but doesn't rise to the Ray Harryhausen level. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member you know the Cheezy 1970 factor is hard to deny, a Shock Theater classic from a bygone era. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
