MYSTICS IN BALI (1981)


T: As always I am a sucker for any movies involving monsters from folklore plus old timey special effects. Unfortunately for us there was only about 5 minutes worth of that in this film. I can't blame the filmmakers; gotta make those 5 minutes really count. In between all this there are some really drawn out conversations that seem like they go on forever. I would love to see a film about a leyak flying around the world in 80 days.



K: The alleged plot of this is the protagonist, Cathy, asks her boyfriend to take her into the jungle and introduce her to demon stuff and she IMMEDIATELY becomes a demon and is turning into a snake, flying around eating pregnant women , etc. What I don't understand is why her boyfriend is surprised by any of this when he literally took her to the demon house with bottles of blood and was like here you go, here's all that stuff you wanted. It's also confusing if she's in a trance/possessed when she's flying around, because sometimes she wakes up confused, other times she seems to be doing it on her accord and being totally cool with it, so I don't know. This movie is fine to maybe put on in the background while you're doing anything else. B-movie enthusiast guys with tattoos will disagree with me and punish you with a long list of why it's good.
