Following his success with GRIZZLY and DAY OF THE ANIMALS, producer/director William Girdler bought the film rights to the best-selling novel by Graham Masterton for what would become the most ambitious film of Girdler’s career…and a commercial triumph he would never live to see: Academy Award® nominee Tony Curtis leads an all star cast – including Michael Ansara, Susan Strasberg, Stella Stevens, Ann Sothern and Burgess Meredith – in this infamous ‘70s saga of tarot card hustlers, enormous neck tumors, a 400-year-old reincarnated medicine man and naked demon space laser battles that has been called everything from “a thoroughly entertaining supernatural extravaganza” (The Spinning Image) and “a fascinating experience” (DVD Beaver) to “a deliriously ill-advised oddity” (Indiewire) and “as crazy as it sounds and then some” (AV Club). Misquamacus says “this truly underappreciated gem” (Rock! Shock! Pop!) is now scanned in 4K from the 35mm interpositive by StudioCanal for the first time ever with over 3 hours of all-new and archival Special Features.
