Tubi Thursday: Dark August (1976)

It's August.
It's Dark out right now.

This seems right...

A man is living out in a rural area.

He should be happy with his girlfriend and solitude.

Why is he upset?

He's seeing a strange, hooded man at various places.

He feels weird.
He feels at odds with everything and everyone.

His girlfriend tries to help him.

He tries to get through things, but something is clearly eating away at him.

A year earlier, he accidentally hit a young girl as she was running across the road.

After that, the girl's Grandfather puts a Death Curse on him, which comes at him in waves (like having a panic attack) or making him see the cloaked figure.

He tries to work through things, even getting his fortune read by a friend's girlfriend.

Even so, the Grandfather is still out to get him.

Can he get the help of a Mystic to save himself?

Well...kind of...sort of.

The whole Ending is rather vague and it won't make your PETA members happy.
The End.

A weirdly interesting Film...to a point.

The Plot is intentionally vague at the beginning, making you wonder what is going on.  That can be interesting with the right Actors.

These guys and gals do alright.

When you find out what is really happening, you can feel like it is going somewhere.
It eventually gets there, but sure takes awhile.

The Film is all about vibes and feelings.  It's a '70s thing.
It's also a Low-Budget Film thing.

If you're into Films that are more vague, about the Characters and eventually get to a weird place, this is for you.
Clearly there are lots of you out there, since we're up to Volume 2 of this...

A Film with promise, but some odd priorities.  It's not a bad Film, but it sure is a vague, listless one.
