| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzNonsensical, creepy satanic supernatural thriller. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeJust about what you'd expect from a movie with this title. |
| User ReviewBill TIf nothing else, it's worth it to see Strother Martin ham it up as a satanic priest. You can fast forward through most of the movie and not miss a darn thing. He totally steals the show with his raving towards the end of the movie. |
| User ReviewCreepis Cexcellent beginning/end tie in. loved it. |
| User ReviewRichard DA family travelling across California run across a small town in crisis. People are dying, children are disappearing, and nobody has been able to enter or leave town. It does not bode well for them that they have been able to enter town, especially since they are travelling with their young daughter. Character actor extraordinaire L.Q. Jones formed a production partnership with comic actor Alvy Moore in the mid-60's and they specialized in low budget genre fare. This is the 3rd film they produced and it's where the quality really jumps. One of the strongest virtues is that Jones acts in this one, playing the town's sheriff, and he gets his buddy Strother Martin to co-star as the town doctor. I really like this film. It makes up for it's low budget with a genuinely creepy atmosphere. The small town Satanism theme generates some unnerving dreamlike sequences. While Jones is great here ... Martin is the real standout. |
| User ReviewDel TThis movie scared the hell out of me as a kid. Saw it again last week on TCM. Looking at it now, it's still very creepy and disturbing. Middle class parents and their daughter stop in a normal looking town, to find out something is preventing them from leaving. In fact dozens of people have died in the last few days, trying to leave the town, and their kids all go missing. Very low budget, but I marveled how effective scares can be achieved by the simplest of means ( ie closeups of the children's toys ). Extremely unsettling ending. The aura of menace offset somewhat by Strother Martin's hammy performance. |
| User ReviewAllan CSurprisingly decent in a very dated way. It's like they saw "Rosemary's Baby" and decided to make something a lot less subtle and more murder-y, with a weirdly unfocused narrative that's more about a town than any specific characters. |
| User ReviewLotti KNot only do old people forget things and smell funny, they also want to steal your soul!! Not particularly good or horrifying, but a perfectly cromulent way to spend an hour and a half. |
| User ReviewTrent MEarly seventies Devil worshippers?! I'm there! A strong opening before the last half crawls to an ending. A must for fans of the genre. |
| User ReviewChris Sever wonder why old people love little children so much? well it's to enter a new life through the Brotherhood of Satan. BAWAHAHAHA!! ..As creepy as a stitch faced monkey |
