The Power (1984).

Ancient Aztec God!

Trapped in a tiny clay statue!

You just know it is not going to go well. Or end well.

The narrative in this movie is a little disjointed. The storyline isn’t always clear. I’m saying that because I’m building up to say that actually I quite liked this movie and I think there was the seed of something good inside it. Deep inside it. Deep deep inside it. Maybe inside a tiny clay doll?

But yes. I rather liked this. Steady-ish build. Gang of plucky kids. Gutsy female reporter. Good climax, nice sting. Decent physical FX.

We watched the Rifftrax version and you could too!
