Tagline: Screaming young girls sucked into a labyrinth of horror by a blood-starved ghoul from Hell.
Plot: Monte Hellman, who would later go on to create the cult classics TWO-LANE BLACKTOP and THE SHOOTING, directs this Roger Corman b-picture about a giant creature that attacks a group of unsuspecting victims in the South Dakota mountains. Gil Jackson (Michael Forest) is a handsome ski instructor who gets more than he bargained for when he agrees to be a guide for Alex Ward (Frank Wolff) and his group of bandit friends. The leader of the gang, Alex convinces his girlfriend Gypsy Berlin (Sheila Carol) to seduce Gil while he and his cronies pull off a major gold heist. They then embark on a trek through the mountainside to lay low while the authorities search for the robbers. Eventually catching onto their criminal ways is Gil, who also manages to win the heart of Gypsy. What no one could have projected is the gigantic beast that resides in a nearby cave and eats human beings like popcorn. As Gil and Gypsy try to escape from Alex, the beast closes in on all of them, culminating in a gigantic battle in a cave to decide who lives, and who dies. Hellman’s exploitation thriller is low-budget fun in the truest sense of the term.
