Films like this are basically what fuels the creative fire for Electric Wizard. They woudln't exist if it weren't for shitty occult flicks about sex and satan.
This was produced by American International Pictures (AIP). They were known for their biker flicks of the 60s and 70s. They generally dabbled in exploitation pictures. Lowbrow flicks for those of us who like a little lowbrow action from time to time.
This is like an American "Hammer Horror" flick. It really borrows a lot from the Wickerman, even though the story is actually Lovcraftian in origin. The plot revolves around the Necromicon, and a young descendent of Dennis Wheatley who tries to use the book to conjure some demons from another dimension. There's a virgin sacrifice, a frightened town ready to lynch anyone or anything they don't comprehend, and some hot innocent young chicks.
The story is very straightforward. The acting is pretty stiff. It's alright. For what it is, it's really not that bad.
Go watch the Wickerman.
