Freddie Francis creates some admirable atmosphere and tension in the first half-hour, but ultimately reduces the film to an inconsequential splurge of arbitrary religious and sexual motifs.

For starters, Lee’s eyes are frequently and unnervingly bloodshot whenever his sexual drive begins to rev into gear.
