Thanks to the Dollar Tree's DVD double features, I only had to pay $.50 for this '70's made-for-TV experience. With stuff like this and "The Star Wars Holiday Special", I'm surprised TVs even sold in the '70s. If nothing else, this movie serves as a representation - a time capsule, if you will - of what the decade was all about: groovy guys living in vans, Mary Tyler Moore-esquire women, and Satan. I'm not going to bother describing the movie's plot and just mention my favorite scene. It's when the hippie hanging out in the fortune telling booth gives the heroine, Jessica, her fortune and she glibly reads some pseudo-apocalyptic mumbo-jumbo about the coming of the Antichrist and the destruction of the world! Huh?! Neither she nor her mellow boyfriend find that unusual? Imagine sitting around with friends in a Chinese restaurant. You've finished dinner and everyone is opening their cookies and reading their vague but positive fortunes and you get one that prophesies the End Times. Wouldn't that raise some eyebrows? But Jessica and Andy are too much in love to be bothered by such things. This movie also stars Kim Cattrall. I didn't realize how old she is. Has she been making awful movies since the silent era?
Anyway, if you're looking for some cheesy fun for not a lot of money, I recommend digging through your local dollar store's movie bin for this and other forgotten films! I don't know if you'll be glad you did, but it's better than being ripped-off seeing a new bad movie in the theater!
