...sets up one strange scene after another to deliver a battered package of horror goods...

The Manitou is absurd, insane, and, yeah, kind of awful, but there's nevertheless a high watchability factor.

Visually inventive.

Even if the story becomes totally absurd, it has more in the way of creativity than most modern horror remakes.

Mar 16, 2011A woman goes into the hospital to have a tumor on her neck looked at, it turns out that the growth is in fact a 400-year-old Indian Shaman. Tony Curtis, Burgess Meredith and a Medicine Man team up to prevent it from from taking over the world. Strange hokiness ensues...Ken S Super Reviewer

Nov 25, 2008A 400-year old Indian shaman reincarnates himself as a tumor in a woman's back, and a fortune telling charlatan (Tony Curtis) must harness the power of ancient Indian medicine and the modern electric typewriter to stop him from bringing Satan into the world. The movie-star cast mostly plays the ridiculous premise straight-faced, and along with the cheap but colorful sfx (dig that cosmic climax!) they keep this entertaining throughout, something "better" written and directed movies often can't seem to do.Greg S Super Reviewer

Feb 26, 2008I always reminise on this film and so I decided to watch it after 20 or so years and well its not so bad. Its a sci fi / horror/ occult film based in San Fransisco. Its kind of funny and not scary but its not bad.Alexander W Super Reviewer
