I did not expect much from an unknown horror movie from the 1970:s - but I was so wrong! This movie was rich, beautiful and compelling! Both love, mystery and romance, science and old, old ghosts and superstitions, believable and interesting characters, scenic nature pictures from both above and under water, and wonderful music. It was much more intelligent and multifaceted than most horror movies. The special effects are not bad either, for its time.Leigh McCloskey, of course, has the ideal strong, masculine, bold, blond and blue-eyed Norse God-look for all time. The name Magnus, which is an old royal and noble name in Sweden, was very appropriate! And Connie Sellecca's perfect beauty makes her his perfect match. It would be worth watching this movie only for this perfect young couple - it gives you hope of humanity, in the midst of all the ugly, boring and nondescript people you have around you in your everyday life...

In the seventies I registered at Sunn Classic Pictures (IMDb) in SLC, UT because I saw an ad in the University of Utah Chronicle. I didn't think I made any impression at all at Sunn but, later on I was showering with Elle Mathes and her eyes turned green and filled the room with light. This occurred at the Merced Manor in Stanislaus County, CA and I had to leave from there on foot and live 5 days with no food. The doctor there prescribed to me a drug I never will want even though he had days before given me permission to sleep with Elle so I didn't return. Twenty years later, I was at the Sugarhouse Gold's Gym in Salt Lake City and I asked some familiar members who they thought that girl must have been. They easily identified Elle as Lucifer and an internet search identified Connie Sellecca as a, "girl with glowing green eyes".

thought i was going nuts! i have seen only the last 10 minutes of this movie sometime in the early eighties but ever since that day the image of that giant sea turtle dragging a black man to his death still haunts me. How i wish i can see the full version of the movie so i will have the idea of what it was all about. i have been talking with friends and relatives about this movie w/ a giant turtle but it seems nobody has seen it. i really don't know why it still lingers in my mind to this very day. there must be some scientific or psychological explanation. Maybe, like the title, it will remain as an enigma. can anybody please tell me where to find a copy of this precious movie? i am more than willing to pay in $$

I like so many have very fond memories of this movie. I can't explain it I think I was like 9 or 10 when I watched it with my mom and my brother, and to this day we still talk about it and wish we could find it on tape or DVD. I remember my brother recorded the song Jennie because we loved it so much and to this day it still haunts my memory. I beg any movie lover out there to please try to find this and watch it because they don't make movies like this anymore it is so simple in its presentation yet for my money is better than any $100 million Hollywood blockbuster because I forget half of them when I walk out of the theater but I still remember this movie from over 20 years ago. Please I beg anyone who remembers this movie to try to find a way to convince the copyright owner to re-release it on DVD I think they would be surprised at the response it would get.
