    i love the BOOK. The book is simple hilarious!!it was hard to find this film. This film has the rumor that is cursed (the director died in a car accident after the filming) i was a bit dissapointed of the final product but still...its one of my favorite books....

    A 400-year old Indian shaman reincarnates himself as a tumor in a woman's back, and a fortune telling charlatan (Tony Curtis) must harness the power of ancient Indian medicine and the modern electric typewriter to stop him from bringing Satan into the world. The movie-star cast ...( read more)mostly plays the ridiculous premise straight-faced, and along with the cheap but colorful sfx (dig that cosmic climax!) they keep this entertaining throughout, something "better" written and directed movies often can't seem to do.

    Kinda creepy for PG. Basically a Native American Exorcist.

    I always reminise on this film and so I decided to watch it after 20 or so years and well its not so bad. Its a sci fi / horror/ occult film based in San Fransisco. Its kind of funny and not scary but its not bad.

    Pretty silly and cornball, the story of an Indian Shaman being reborn as a growth sac which comes out of the upper back of a woman in 70's San Francisco.

    What the fuck, over?

    Pass.

    The stars are for schlock value, not quality - check out George Reis's review at DVD Drive-In: click here
