1971 horror thriller
Rating: 10/20
Plot: After a hippie religious cult crucifies her husband, a woman finds herself having a really bad night.
This starts great with a forced baptism and a wild hippie prayer offered up by Michael Sugich's Billy Joe character, a kind of Christ-figure prophet cult leader. He's a frightening villain with a holy unibrow, and for the first 2/5 of this movie that focuses on the cult and the harassment of this poor couple, this was working. The second half of the movie, a low-budget home invasion movie, isn't nearly as effective, and a goofy twist really doesn't make much sense.
I did enjoy some of the score, what I'd call horror jazz. But despite some nice sequences at the beginning and the fun Sugich performance and that unibrow, I wouldn't recommend this.
"We don't have a dime in the bank and he goes and buys a cross."
