Seeing those actors in one B-movie about satanists just sent my
heart-a-pumpin.  We're in rural southwestern America, and there's a group of
satanists headed by Borgnine on the loose.  They are after the Preston
brothers (Shatner and Skerritt) because their ancestors betrayed Borgnine
and kept his demonic book that has the names of satanists written in blood.
That's about as much of the plot I got (or wanted to get).  It was
entertaining enough to watch Shatner in a vest and a wicker cowboy hat,
emoting like only he can.  And then to see Ernest Borgnine (who seemed to
really enjoy his role in this film) wear clothes that were a little too
tight for his plump frame, including his religious garb - a bright red robe.
He has a bunch of followers who don't have eyes, including a young John
Travolta (in his first movie role - a non-speaking cameo).  Oh, and there's
a lot of melting.  Faces melting, hands melting, bodies melting.  And
melting.  And melting.  The scenes of melting go on for so long the audience
starts to melt.  So there's some good fun to be had laughing at this flick,
but there are definitely some boring scenes.  It's all worth it when you see
Borgnine with a goat face!  I was, however, disappointed in what the box
said was "absolutely the most incredible ending of any motion picture ever!"
