This outdoes all of Assonitis' own movies through sheer force of personality. Outer Space Satan's first goal: throw off Kareem's jump-shot. John Huston controls the bald, all-male chapter of cirque de soleil. Glenn Ford attacked by parakeets. Sam Peckinpah, humble abortionist. Shelley Winters as Hattie McDaniel. Django is Jesus. The soundtrack tries for a best supporting actor oscar. Death by Ice-dancing. A must.

No idea why this has such a low rating on IMDb, no aspect of this film is bad.

Definitely one of the strangest films I've ever seen. The problem though is that the strangeness almost seems too deliberate; such as the occasional use of goofy 70's music. I can't take away from the film's often impressive control of imagery and mood, but again it just seems like it has a bit too much of a hard time deciding if it wants to be Jodorowsky or The Omen.
