The girlfriend of a mystic (Tony Curtis) finds out that a lump on her back is a growing reincarnation of a 400 year-old demonic Native American spirit.
I do have to say there is an unnecessary white man and Indian bit (where the Indian says he should not help the white man because of what his people did). But I will let it slide because I suppose when this movie came out there was still the pushback to get respect for Indians (which may or may not have worked).
I thought for the most part the film had amazing effects, interesting characters and a really good premise. This was apparently based on an incident that happened in Japan in 1969 where a boy had a tumor in his chest that was later believed to be a fetus. While it certainly was not a fetus, I can see how that would inspire such an impressive story.
