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.

There he meets Linda, the DA's pill-popping daughter.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a bizarre snapshot of early-70s counterculture, relying on cheap yet charming effects and a grimy sense of humor. It explores the blurred lines between spiritual seeking and narcissism, magic and grift in an age where everything became a commodity.

What lingers after viewing is the film's peculiar sincerity—a dirty, low-budget incantation that feels both ridiculous and oddly profound. It's a time capsule of occult ambition and street-level disillusionment. — MovieFinder Editorial

With cheap wine in a dim room, embracing its grungy, psychedelic trip vibe.
