time have not be kind to this movie . once controversial adaptation of jeffrey konvitz best seller and now this film look like a mere mainstream version of your typical spookfest . gruesome touch aside ( particularly that crazy and over the top finale ) and this be essentially a glossy horror movie for those people that do not care much for the genre . it have an extraordinary cast in small role ( jose ferrer and ava gardner and eli wallach and burgess meredith and christopher walken and and many others ) and but something tell me that the producer want such an expensive cast in order to convince the audience that this be not your average lowbrow movie ( producer of 70 disaster movie have a similar idea ) . i kind like to see the familiar face and but the story be very silly and and no matter how high class the film pretend to be and it operate at the level of your average 70 exploitation movie ( not an entirely bad thing and though ) . still and it be an enjoyable movie and especially for those viewer who enjoy stargaze . a usual and albert whitlock matte work be outstanding . overall and pretty entertaining .
