Short description

A psychic's girlfriend finds out that a lump on her back is a growing reincarnation of a 400 year-old demonic Native American spirit.

What's left behind the scenes

When this film was first shown in South Africa in 1978, the invitations to the screening were printed on vomit bags.
This is the last film directed by William Gordler. Shortly before the film's release, he died in a helicopter crash in the Philippines while scouting locations for a future film.
