I really enjoyed this movie because it surprised me. I was expecting a typical 1970s sleaze fest full of gratuitous nudity and violence.
Instead I get a movie that's rather funny and quirky. Andrew Prine is awesome as Simon. The camera work is brilliant, well above the level of the standard B movie.
Simon King of the Witches offers a unique insight into the world of magick.
Highly recomended.
very odd and interesting!When there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...
Andrew Prine went to the same high school and I did (Miami Jackson in Miami of course) and I watched this just to see him and this was probably his best acting I've seen from him. The film is more of a deadpan comedy than a horror movie and Prine's character is so full of himself you sometimes want to laugh but other times groan.
But for a low-budget '70ish film this is a real treat and certainly proves the point of "Don't fool with Mother Nature" or in this case the Gods of Warlocks.

My favorite: "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"
It is very odd indeed. Not quite the supernatural horror movie I was hoping it would be, but that's my fault for expecting it to be; not a flaw in the film. Not something I would be interested in watching every single day, but I'm glad I gave it a chance this one time because it wasn't bad. Just different.
