I saw this again last night and I realize now (even in the cut version I have: approximately 85 minutes) why the old South African censor board banned it and why it remained banned for many years. Christians versus pagans, druids and fertility rites on a remote Scottish island, Edward Woodward screaming ""They're naked!" and the most frightening thing of all: Sir Christopher Lee in a fright wig.

I can easily see how it would offend some people but I for one wouldn't mind Britt Ekland dancing kaalgat [naked] in the room next to me.  Smile

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
