Summary: A magician performs a show where he selects a female volunteer and appears to put swords, drills, and such through them. They walk away and everyone applauds, then they show up somewhere else, dead of the same injuries they sustained in the magic show. Police are baffled and can't tie the murders to the magician. A man whose girlfriend is infatuated with the show begins to investigate on his own. (imdb)
Probably Lewis' most ambitious movie, which is exactly as adorable as that sounds. Obviously, the man bites off more than he can chew, since his talents are virtually nonexistant but therein lies the fun. It's like The Holy Mountain for retarded people.
Another batch of H G Lewis hokum, the usual cross between gruesome and goofy. Considerable amusement is provided by Montag's histrionics, the recurrent closeup of his eyes, not to mention some lurid and silly acting by the other principals. Then there's the fact that the audience seems to be seated in another room entirely. Add to that the incomprehensible finale, and this whole "Is it a dream?" and "The End?...Or Is It?" business, and you've dished yourself up a real bucket of guano.
Unforgivably bad film-making, but quite entertaining. The ending should stand as the dictionary definition of the term "psychotronic." If you're looking at this because you're interested in H.G. Lewis, start with "Two Thousand Maniacs!" instead.
