Member Rating:  
The target audience for this supernatural thriller is never quite clear: the film's poster attempts a psychedelic look, as the ad copy touts "the black mass...the spells...the incantations...the curses...the ceremonial sex," and other ad copy says "He curses the Establishment." In the film, Andrew Prine plays a Los Angeles sewer-dwelling warlock who discovers that his magical talents are more powerful than he had imagined, leading him to power among a group of cult followers. The role of the Satanic cult leader is played by Ultra Violet, a celebrity in artist Andy Warhol's community. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

    You know, this was by far the best of the old "occult" type movies I've looked at recently, definitely the gem. Of course, there's a smattering of 70's cheese (Mostly in the camera work, imho), but far less than you'd think. Without giving too much away, it's a story of redemption, power and balance, and an attitude towards the pagans that's reminiscent of Godsmack's songs.
