Review of The Manitou (1978) by Kristin W — 20 Mar 2011
Ok, so wait...ok...The movie starts out with this lady trying to get a tumor surgically removed. When the doctor tries to operate, he can't do it because the tumor is actually the fetus of an evil baby Native American midget.
That's biophysically impossible on so many levels, so the suspension of disbelief is blown within the first 30 minutes of the movie. ANYWAY- The rest consists of Tony Curtis & John Boehner in a wig frantically trying to save the tumor lady from the evil Native American dwarf.
At the end, the movie vaguely cites a 1968 Japanese case of fetus in fetu (where a twin is born inside of the other) in an attempt to spook the audience, but I really don't see how that relates to little people or Republicans, so.
..meh.
