A catholic named Claire
Higginson (Faith Clift) meets up with a
playboy named Olivier (Robert Bristol)
who has a strange power over women and
seemingly ageless too.
She also asks Olivier if there is a God
and a Devil as her husband named James
(Richard Moll) wrote a novel titled God
Is Dead as he has no beliefs.
Olivier tells her they both exist and an
estranged man named Papini (Maurice
Grandmaison) tries to protect them both
as he tries to warn them that Satan is
after them and the apocolypse is about to
occur.
Meanwhile, a police detective named Lt.
Sterne (Cameron Mitchell) tries to find
out who this Olivier is as he was
involved with Hitler in Germany decades
ago and has been responsible for alot of
deaths as he can't seem to put the pieces
together.
This was an extremely low
budget feature and it looks like a total
bore but eventually it gets a little
better and very dark too.
This film can easily be considered an
Omen ripoff but it's an adult who is an
antichrist and not a child.
There are some fun touches in the film
and years later it was used as a chapter
for a horror anthology titled Night
Train to Terror.
Faith Clift cannot
act her way out of a wet paper bag by any
means as she just speaks her lines and
shows very little expressions on her face
but she does do well at being spooked
out.
Richard Moll who played her
husband was pretty bad as well but not as
bad as she was as at least he put a bit
of energy into his character.
Cult horror icon Cameron Mitchell is
a little better but on an average level
as a detective. However, he was often
cast in badly acted films but he shows
good aggression regardless.
Robert Bristol is the best out
of them all as he plays a perfect
antichrist with his cold sounding voice
and evil expressions.
Olivier is at an
operating room table and his insides are
revealed.
Directed by three people???
Oh cmon one should do.
Well they show some interesting moments
especially with Bristol's role
with his lovely women at the disco bar
and having the evil expressions on his
face and a devilish smile too.
There's also great cheesy hallucinations
with the demonic forces too that
surrounds Clift and Moll's
character's too.
Also a nice scene with Grandmaison's role
being pulled into the ocean.
There is some boring piano
playing but there are some good
synthesizer performances surrounding Bristol's
scene's as well as outdated classical
music during the operating room towards
the end all by Steve Yeaman and Casey
Young.
There are a couple of
cheesy disco songs at the local disco bar
performed by Billy Kirkland with
his songs "I'm Your Lover" and
"Only a Fool"
