Horrific!, 6 August 2007
Author: ludovica36 from United Kingdom

This film made a massive impression on me, I'm afraid. Everything about it is revolting. It's one of only three programmes I've ever seen that caused me to vomit repeatedly.

The story is fairly pedestrian, but the concept and effects are extremely disturbing. I did not know until reading the comments here that Anton Le Vey was a consultant on the movie, but I guess this, finally, is the explanation for why a basically run of the mill picture had such a bad impression on me that even now, 26 years after watching it, it still causes me to shudder at the very thought. It does have a very "authentic occult feel" that might be impenetrable or just "silly" to many, but having at one time been very well informed on the subject, I think it would be fair to say that I recognised references to what I now consider very psychologically damaging concepts embedded in this film.. and now I know why!... so I am glad I looked this up. I wouldn't urge anyone to watch this, other than to observe how gut-wrenchingly revolting it is. I realise it was *meant* to be entertaining and fun, but I do see some much darker elements within that are less well intentioned
