Manitou, The
Embassy

Sleeve Sypnosis:
A grotesque and awesome power seeing rebirth
A mysterious tumour on the neck of a young woman harbours a growing force of evil, the spirit of a 400 year old Witch Doctor awaiting reincarnation. Doctors watch helplessly as the hideous tumour grows in size and strength threatening destruction and the life of its host. But the birth cannot be stopped and the Manitou is born again to life and sets out to destroy the world with demonic horrors that defy imagination. A film with spectacular special effects that make the deformed demon one of the most terrifying yet created for the screen.
