Equinox (1970)


Jack Woods and Dennis Muren's Equinox, released in 1970, is a reasonably well-crafted Sci-Fi horror film budgeted at below B level. Its somewhat legendary status is more due to the future industry success of Muren and others that worked on the film than any outstanding artistic or entertainment value. The film is well shot and paced, but has atrocious dialogue and amateurish acting. Frank Bonner, who will be recognizable to fans of WKRP in Cincinnati, is the second lead and Fritz Leiber Jr. adds some class as the mad doctor. The creatures are impressive and mark this film as the missing link between Ray Harryhausen and Sam Raimi.
