While I continue to do my research for my next post on Leave the World Behind post, I took some time to watch some older entries. My latest entry will be on a classic ecohorror flick from the 70s. The 1979 entry prophecy.
Plot: A government health inspector is dispatched to assess the damage a logging company is causing to a patch of forest claimed by Native Americans, and comes face to face with true terror wreaking havoc in the woods.
While this is far from a perfect movie, it is definitely one of the better ones from the late 70s. Featuring a solid cast, the performances are really good and the storyline is rather interesting for the time. Yes, it was made lacking the gore and true horror elements that could have taken it to the next level (a PG rating) and it does plod along at some points, but it really does succeed at creating a solid creature feature. In the end, this one may lack the punch of some features, but it is a fun watch and one that should be put into your creature feature rotation.
