Yep. I'm not even gonna do a real quote to begin with. It almost offended me to put up the poster for this trash. I mean, I expected it to be bad, but this is a Jerry Warren movie that makes The Incredible Petrified World look like a good time.
In this thankfully forgotten hour-long suckfest with another worthless Lon Chaney Jr. villain, a random psychic women is taken back to a previous life through hypnosis, like Antichrist (1974) except much more boring, to some ancient Aztec temple where a scientist finds a mummified werewolf and a mummified Aztec warrior. As both are awoken, they escape the lab and begin killing people until one of them gets hit by a care, leading the entire boring horror-factor to be lead by the cruddy werewolf.
The first and foremost criticism for this piece of crap is not the complete lack of horror, but how a movie could possibly draw out a single hour so long. The temple scenes and transformations scenes are drawn out so long that you could get in a long line at the concession stand, come back after finally getting your snack and miss absolutely nothing. There is no reason for this woman to be psychic, as this does nothing else for the plot past the temple ritual scene.
These characters have basically no reason to exist other than to get killed off or progress a hokey and undercooked plot that never once get interesting, because there are only two real instances of plotting: in the first five minutes and about fifteen minutes later for about two minutes. And at the end, some random guy comes in and saves the day?
I looked up the movie on Wikipedia to post the basic information such as the year and the director here, and found that it was in fact a movie made of two unrelated foreign movies and some additional scenes were filmed by Warren. In other words, this was pre-Power Rangers editing. And since the plot was a bit confusing, I occasionally had to read in on Wikipedia! That's how confusing it got! Apparently, our hero had a stronger role in one of the two foreign movies, and most of his scnees were cut out, so his appearance doesn't even make sense anymore!
I'll be honest, judging from the poster I was hoping for a D'Amato-style cheesefest.
Whatever cheese you may be hoping to find is just a couple of masks and a cruddy transformation scene. Otherwise, it's all camera work on a moonlit night. I hated watching this with every fiber in my body, and I rank this the second worst movie I've ever seen.
