If the young Francis Ford Coppola had went on to have a career more like that of Ed Wood, Jr., instead of his actual career, this film would likely be universally regarded as the overwrought piece of crap that it is. I first saw this film as a college student, and regarded it as one of the most unintendedly hilarious "horror" films I ever saw (along with several of my friends). The viewer should be warned, however, that there are many long, dragging, boring bits in between the moments of unintended humor. The truly remarkable thing about this film is the way it shows the long, LONG progress Coppola made beyond this film later (The Godfather, Part III, nonwithstanding).
