David Sterritt Christian Science Monitor Talented cast and all, it's a shabby and shoddy little movie. Oct 8, 2021 Full Review Dick Lochte Los Angeles Free Press Thirty minutes of lame script and gratuitous gore and a performance by Palance that set the art of acting back a few hundred years. Dec 13, 2019 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Oct 5, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Talk about weird. This movie was really dumb but sort of interesting in a way. The story wasn’t very good, and the acting was anything but believable but I enjoyed it. For a quick overview this dude named Mottram worships a devil named Chuku. So he sacrifices people to please him, most of them women. He also has a coworker named Ronnie who works at his antique shop, Ronnie is always dreaming of getting away from the shop and going on vacation. Neal is too busy tending to the wishes of Chuku though. Ronnie tries to get him away from Chuku so he can be normal, but nothing succeeds and he ends up begrudgingly helping Neal hide the bodies. Anyways Neal kills a masseuse and a lady walks right in after him and reports the body. Ronnie who is incredibly drunk tries to destroy Chuku and fights with Neal. Ronnie gets thrown out the window yada yada police get in and Neal sacrifices himself as the final sacrifice. Honestly I want to get this movie on Blu-Ray because the quality I saw it in wasn’t very good. Not that it will help with how good the film is anyhow, 1.5/5 stars. Bad in a fun way. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review bill t Aw. it seems this was ranked very low.. Well, I LIKED this ridiculous Black Magic movie. Jack Palance (!!) worships a Black Magic Idol, and accidentally, a woman gets murdered by it. Well low and behold, good fortune comes his way! So he decides to continue popping off women to please his little devil god, and that involves a hilariously well planned alibi he pulls off to pop off a victim, soon the police get suspicious, and the circle tightens around him. Very entertaining, and there's an amazing subtexted subplot with his "assistant" who seemed rather gay from the get go, but you never hear it that way of course, only that they would "run off and take a vacation together" or something to that effect. Very very interesting watch! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A cult flick with lots of horror occultism in it...Pretty rare but if you manage to spot it somewhere, you should give it a try..! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Nutjob art dealer giving nightly rituals and sacrifices to a pagan idol? Why the hell not! Zany oddball horror flick that's worth a look if you can track it down, just for the scenery-chewing by Jack Palance. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Neal Mottram needs money, he has a devil statue and is involved in black magic and witchcraft as well. Neal starts killing for his demon idol and money comes in for the sacrifices. The police are suspicious of him and his accomplish wishes to stop. Will Neal get away with it in the end with help from the dark lord or will the law catch up with him? Not a great movie to be sure, one or two good lines, cheap through out. Watched it on youtube where the video has 22 positive ratings to 10 negative. :) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Unworthy of Francis & pretty thin. Still has it's charms.
