Full Plot Details

Karen Tandy enters a San Franisco hospital suffering from a tumor growing in her neck. Her surprised doctors think it's a living creature, a fetus being born inside the tumor. Fortune-teller Harry Erskine dismisses it -- until one of his customers begins speaking in tongues and fatally throws herself down a flight of stairs, and Karen's surgeon attempts to cut off his own hand rather than excise her tumor. Erskine finally seeks help from another fortune teller, Amelia Crusoe, and her husband, to try to learn the cause of these supernatural events. When Karen's tumor gets larger, Dr. Snow speculates that within her tumor lives vengeful 400-year-old Indian spirit. Erskine travels to South Dakota to enlist the aid of Indian medicine man John Singing Rock to force the evil spirit out of Karen and back where it came. The Indian spirit is driven from Karen's tumor, but will it take over others before Singing Rock can send him back?

Movie Reviews

The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Zack HandlenWhile Manitou does have its slower sections, the climax is a thing of beauty to be enjoyed forever, with crummy special effects, bad lightning, a star field, an Evil One symbolized by a cataract, and Tony Curtis struggling to maintain his dignity.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 7/10 by Ken HankeHow can anyone resist a movie that involves a 400-year-old medicine man growing as a tumor on Susan Strasberg's back? Yes, that really is the premise. Honest.
Combustible Celluloid - 0/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonEven if the story becomes totally absurd, it has more in the way of creativity than most modern horror remakes.
User Review - 10/10 by South Dakota Indian WI need tit pics to harness a hospital's worth of Manitous so I can use them to banish Lucifer himself who's taken the form of an ancient Indian medicine man named Tomacus who recently regrew himself in the back tumor of a woman named Karen after being dead for 400 years.
User Review - 10/10 by Greg Sthis might be the most awesomely bad horror movie I've ever seen. a total MUST see.
User Review - 10/10 by Samantha CTHIS MOVIE WAS AWESOME IN ITS DAY....NOW IT SEEMS CHEESY BUT STILL BRINGS BACK GREAT MEMORIES (SMILE)
User Review - 10/10 by Michael LTHE MANITOU is pure bad movie heaven! Tony Curtis, Ann Sothern, Stella Stevens and Susan Strasberg--what more can I say? Wonderful. But let me add to the list--Stella is basically in blackface (though why we don't know, or is she simply tan?) and then there's Susan who starts this whole thing with a tumor on her neck that winds up being the fetus of the reincarnation of a 400 year-old Native American spirit. YES! You are reading this correctly. But there's more! Tony, Stella, and Ann are psychic healers who actually say, " the spirit looks like one of those wooden Indians that stand in front of cigar shops." Amazing, wonderful, late night fun.
User Review - 10/10 by Chauncey Lverga, esta pelicula es para verla a las 3 de la magnana con los panas todos brutos hasta el culo, es una sola cagadera de la risa...
User Review - 10/10 by Stephen LI stopped at five stars only because this rating system forced me too. This movie has it all: Re-incarnated Indian medicine-men, Tony Curtis as a tarot-reader with a temper, neck growths, hospital rooms in space, technology vs midgets, a topless women that shoots lasers from her hands...i could go on and on.
User Review - 10/10 by Chuck ZI am speechless about this movie other than what I'm writing now.
