Pericles Lewnes' greatest achievement in this movie is his belabored work in disguising the rich metaphoric odyssey as a low-budget horror movie. I am reminded of the ever-profound words of Homer Simpson: "But the football...his groin...it works on so many levels!" From the wiles of Tobacco Man, the prophet, the soothsayer, the deux ex machina...to the misunderstood but brightly optimistic Elly Mae, this movie delivers a multitude of beautifully executed, heavily obscured morals, which the viewer seems to pile up with every repeated viewing. You cannot watch this movie more than once without catching a glimpse of the great philosophical subtexts. A triumph.
