It should be noted that the man who overdubbed such great kid's classics as Speed Racer, Astroboy, and Ultraman was a co-writer of this film. The late Peter Fernandez (1927-2010) was in show biz since age 7 and co-wrote this sexploitation film when he was 38. I wonder if he ever had ideas for the plot lines of the many cartoon which he voiced around the same time.

The chain-smoking narrator sounds to me like the guy who voiced the Taster's Choice commercials of the 1970s, a voice that sounds like a bear snoring. Could that have been Peter? His dubs never had that gravelly sound. He is credited as. "(voice)(uncredited) on this page.

I'd like to hear the perspective of a sex worker of that time on this film in terms of how it captures the situations and the emotions of the protagonists.

How can you write a spoiler if what you're saying is that NOTHING HAPPENS IN THIS FILM. Film is a visual medium and you must SHOW something happen for it to be a legitimate film.

Though I walked out (one of only two films I ever walked out of) after the first 30 minutes passed with NOTHING AT ALL HAPPENING, I am confident in telling anyone reading this that, from everyone I have spoken to or read from, there is no witch, there is nothing scary, this is not a project, it is the beginning of the worst genre of film-making ever conceived. The ONLY things that could make "found footage" films worth watching would be if something interesting actually happens and if it is in VR so you can be in the experience yourself. When I asked someone who saw the film all the way through what he thought was scary about this, he said "some people said the woods was haunted or cursed." I asked point-blank "Does anything scary actually happen? Does someone get harmed in some way?" He said, "Well, what's scary for some people isn't scary for others."

So, if a spoiler is telling people about what happens in the film, then I can't spoil it. Nothing at all happens. People wander around and get scared for no reason. They go into a wooded area that they heard was haunted or cursed, but it's nonsense. They just scare themselves over nothing at all and then the credits roll. Not scary, not interesting, not a wildly creative new form of cinema, just absolutely NOTHING TO SEE.

How do writers with no imagination sell work this horrible? Nepotism? Blackmail? There are a few...very few elements of the story which, had they explored them, might have made the psychotic blood lust of immortal beings slightly redeemable. Since zero stars is not an option, let that fact serve for the one I had to give it. It was a movie. They get a star.

These immortals kill people who are, as one of them aptly put it, "children" to them like someone introduces themselves to guests at a crowded party. Obviously whatever gives them immortality gives them little intelligence and absolutely zero wisdom or conscience.

While the current state of our culture requires "action" which really means "mass murder" to keep their attention, it's really the lowest common denominator. The subject of a human being who lives for more than 2,000 years could keep an audience's attention without murder as the main plot if the story were written by a truly creative, thoughtful, imaginative writer. That writer did not appear in the room after the focus group of idiots they hired for this movie's formula were asked what elements of an action story they'd like to see.

Nothing about this movie is original. The elements it cannibalizes from other stories are hobbled together clumsily and without depth. Their attempts to express "diversity" in the cast are formulaic and not at all organic. Its nice they threw in some homely people to balance out the picture-perfect beautiful ones, but they still cast quite a few people whose main talent was on display in their head shots.

This movies is a caricature of mindless, bloody, killing fantasies without a soul, and without anything at all to say that matters.
