Overview

Simon is a modern day warlock. Though he lives in a storm drain and sometimes talks to trees, he's deadly serious about his witchcraft. After being picked up for vagrancy, Simon spends a night in jail with Turk, a young hustler with connections to powerful people such as Hercules, an aging hipster who hires Simon to work one of his groovy parties. There he meets Linda, the DA's pill-popping daughter. In between romanic dallances and colorful sex magic ceremonies, Simon must contend with those who dare to challenge his magical prowess causing him to summon the dark world for his revenge.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A deliriously countercultural fever dream where a dropout warlock living in a storm drain navigates 1970s LA's seedy underbelly with grim determination and occasional menace. It's genuinely unhinged, part exploitation cinema, part genuine horror, entirely committed to its own deranged logic.
