Magic(k) can often feel to the practitioner, and appear to the onlooker, rather silly and ineffectual. On that note…
A man who lives in a storm drain wants to be a god. He wears an ascot and a cape. He has a more developed relationship with a ceremonial dagger than he does with his supposed love interest. For a spell, he asks a young hustler/drug dealer/blonde kid to ejaculate into a tin can. Dignity doesn’t exactly abound in his life.
After hitting all the usual 1970s ridiculous notes in this genre, Simon King of the Witches actually manages an honest note. Put bad things out into the world, like curses on your girlfriend’s dad, and it’s probably going to bite you in the ass. Or, you know, end up with you dead…in a storm drain.
Up until quite recently, if you wanted to see the occult on film, this is the kind of quality you had to be willing to tolerate. It’s getting better, but slowly.
