Equinox

Probably an early influence on Sam Raimi (Evil Dead), Equinox is a fun horror film made first as a student project and then reworked for wider release. Features the special effects of a young Dennis Muren, who went on to create effects for the Star Wars trilogy. While this film won't win any awards or much acclaim, it is certainly fun to watch if you're a fan of Sam Raimi, Ray Harryhausen animation or Lovecraft stories.

Check out the Criterion Collection release and compare both versions. Enjoy!
