when i watch this on television year ago it simply scream make for television movie to me . the quality of the film and the incredibly cheesy story that try in vain to be serious and the stable of actor one expect to see in a make for television movie . however and it be apparently a film that get a film release and that be kind of sad consider how weak the film be a a horror movie . you would expect more blood and more frightening scene and this one just do not have it at all . it seem almost like a lifetime channel movie of today in it production value and plot . the plot be simple enough to explain and seem a demon like creature call the manitou be grow on tony curtis wife and he must try to stop this evil entity before it be to late . i also recall it be some sort of indian legend and there may have be an indian in the movie to help out and but do not quote me on that one . in the end a very light and frothy horror movie that do not contain really all that much to justify that r rating .
