Three hippies on an archeological expedition in the desert find more than just relics when, after a wild night of LSD-induced hallucinations, they tap into an ancient force that allows them to see the future and glimpse their own imminent deaths. As the grim reaper comes closing in, the survivors go to any lengths to prevent what they know will be. This low-budget blend of hippie and horror genres marked the directorial debut of Alan Rudolph, who would eventually go on to direct such highly regarded art-house fare as CHOOSE ME, AFTERGLOW, and MRS. PARKER AND THE VICIOUS CIRCLE. While not exactly arty, the film does benefit from a groovy soundtrack, trippy photography, and all the motorcycles, long hair, and drugged-out dialogue one could wish from an exploitation film of the era. Fans of similarly bizarre, psychedelic cult items such as THE TRIP and EASY RIDER will want to locate this obscure semiclassic. [More]
