With Anger's bright sense of colour and a nice soundtrack this is a pretty little operetta, with some really creative moments. It drags, though, and isn't really my thing.

Strange and mysterious, and maybe a little goofy. I think it goes on a bit too long but it's mostly worthwhile.

I very much loved the editing, as if a virus took over your computer and is playing with Halloween soaked characters on your screen instead of the usual porn popups.

Tedious after awhile but vivid and wild beyond anything I imagined possible in 1954.

Most underground films are some guy basically masturbating with his camera, but this is really something else. An exercise in pure style that actually works; there's probably a fancy word for it somewhere, but I like to call it "the poetry of sound and image". It all just seems right -- not quite an opera, it hits you with one indelible image after another that just reeks of art of an older and possibly better world, one that had nothing to do with mutual funds or K-Fed or PDAs. Totally awesome!

Well, this is just silly. It looks like a bunch of friends playing dress-up (which is pretty much exactly what it is) with a bunch of mythological and occult gibberish tossed in for the heck of it. C'mon... Aleister Crowley? What are we, 19 years old? The colors are incredible and I'm sure it's innovative filmmaking, but it's too annoying and ridiculous for 38 minutes. Recommended only for people who take Current 93 seriously.

Sure it's goofy, but it's my kind of goofiness.

A psycho-brilliant product of Satan-worshiping and LSD. Its Thelemic combination of superimpositions, cross-religious imagery, neon costuming and 'attack' editing are completely unique to anything I have ever seen in cinema. Seeing the gods use Magick to drink Satan's power and turn into pseudo-Cenobites is certainly an iconoclastic statement.
