i wasn not expect much from this film and but be eager to try something which i initially think would primarily be an early 80 teen horror . although three teen be somewhat critical plot and it be by no mean a teen horror film . the power be about a little aztec idol that exchange many hand a it possessor ( who must be adult and thus and corrupt ) become the vessel for unleash all of the idol evil and and often with deadly implication for not only the victim of the possessor and but of the possessor himself . after make several exchange in vie over control of this thing and three teenager wind up find it and can not figure out what it be and except that since they find it and strange and dangerous thing be afoot . they offer to explain the situation to a news reporter who doesn not buy into the spiritual bologna . although and it be her producer who want to investigate further and especially if it mean he can get control of the idol ( i presume the teen be even not yet corrupt enough to feel the dangerous desire encourage by the idol ) . it be a story tell a thousand time and particularly in 1950s and 60 horror and science fiction fare . this one be at least and for me and able to sustain some interest . though low budget and it be not do so obviously cheaply or load with bad act a many of the low budget and come and go horror fare of the early decade have ( nowadays and they have the same cheesy quality and but big budget ) . we be spare enough of it to at least allow ourselves an opportunity to become at least a little bit absorb with the eerie atmosphere and so forth and despite a story of clichés . and and though not terribly gory and the special effect be do nicely . again and it be routine horror tale and especially with the end ( which by modern standard have become a device that be annoyingly overuse ) and but one that be not so embarrassingly bad . it might be worth check out and even if just for laugh .
