Genre - Horror
Director - William Girdler
Starring - Tony Curtis, Michael Ansara, Susan Strasberg, Jon Cedar, Ann Sothern

This has to be one of the most ridiculously silly films ever made. It starts out quite creepy as Karen discovers a growth on her neck and the doctors are shocked to find a foetus inside, her some time boyfriend, a fortune teller called Harry (Tony Curtis) hears her uttering a strange language in her sleep and when one of his clients says the same phrase just before throwing herself down some stairs he begins to investigate. The doctors can't help and with Karen getting worse Harry discovers the foetus is in fact a 400 year old native American spirit hungry for revenge on the white man. The plot, script and effects are laughably terrible but if you like a chuckle at cheesy bad movies then you have to see this.
