The Dark Power
The spirits of dead Indians are haunting a couple's house, and they call in an exorcist, whose trademark is a black whip, to get rid of them.
Why it matters
A low-budget 80s supernatural flick that mixes Native American spirits with whip-cracking exorcism in a way only regional horror can.
- A rare example of an exorcist wielding a black whip instead of holy water—Lash LaRue’s campy showdown is worth the price of admission.
- Native American undead antagonists that veer into unintentional comedy, embodying the era’s uneasy approach to cultural folklore.
- More watchable than the director’s other outings, with enough B-movie charm and pulpy atmosphere to hold interest.
- Not for fans seeking polished scares or respectful mythology—this is cult curiosity fuel for lovers of schlock and regional oddities.
