The Manitou
For a White woman, the best part of being possessed by a Native American is that she can wear Mukluks guilt-free.
However, the vessel in this horror movie is more concerned with her survival.
When his ex-assistant, Karen (Susan Strasberg), comes to him with a protuberance, psychic charlatan Harry (Tony Curtis) finds his skepticism challenged.
When an attempt to remove the growth from Karen's neck is made, Harry discovers that he is facing the fetus of a hundred-year old Native American Shaman hell-bent on being reborn.
With help from a medicine man (Michael Ansara), Harry must prevent the Manitou from gaining strength and amalgamating with The Devil.
Graphic for its time, and eerie at any age, The Manitou not only tackles Native Rights but also embraces their belief that everything has a spirit.
In fact, according to Native legend, the only earthbound entity without a soul is the White man. (Yellow Light)
