Review – Equinox

The folks who made this way back in 1970 seem to have had ambitions to be Ray Harryhausen but had neither the talent nor the budget to pull it off. The result is a muddled mess about two couples who find a strange book in an isolated valley, making them the target of an oddly-eyebrowed, shape-shifting sheriff named Mr. Asmodeus. This is the sort of movie that’s probably a lot more fun to watch if you’re stoned. That way things like terrible split screens, giant green cavemen and observations like “Hey, isn’t that the dude who played Herb on WKRP?” seem a lot more profound than they are when you’re straight. Mildly amusing
