I saw this in a movie theater back in 1982, and I knew it sucked, but there was a few things I remembered.
The acting all around is just plain garbage, especially the actresses playing the daughter, and the psychic friend. The Psychic friends husband, was he supposed to be the stand up comic, he sucked too. The guy playing Satin says nothing.
The story/plot/dialogue is even worse than the acting. If you don't have a story, you don't have a movie. But somehow they found the funding and the energy to put this thing together. Very little explanation as to what the husband does, the daughters activities, anything about the main character. The story is a mess.
The music and cinematography was OK. Nothing special. The fx? They used the disappearing blood trick like 3 or 4 times.
Who keeps a working guillotine in their basement. An ambulance is called, and the wife/psychic jumps in the ambulance with the pieces. John Carodine shows up in the last 15 minutes for some needed explanation about loneliness and the devil.
This thing was a mess all around. Boring/Slow Crap.
My rating is an F, 1 star. Raised to 2 stars for two reasons Lana Wood, and it's not because of her acting.
