1969 ·12m · ★ 5.9 (70)

The shadowing forth of Our Lord Lucifer, as the Power of Darkness gather at a midnight mass. The dance of the Magus widdershins around the Swirling Spiral Force, the solar swastika, until the Bringer of Light—Lucifer—breaks through.

Why it matters

A raw acid-tinged descent into occult ritual and countercultural mysticism that captures the late ’60s underground’s dark pulse.

  • Kenneth Anger’s signature blend of esoteric symbolism and experimental film blurs the line between avant-garde and horror.
  • Features a hypnotic soundtrack by Mick Jagger, amplifying the ritualistic atmosphere.
  • For fans of occult cinema and midnight screenings steeped in psychedelia and transgressive art.
  • Not your typical narrative horror — more a visceral invocation than a story, demanding patience and a taste for the surreal.
