Story Synopsis:
Based on the novella by Harlan Ellison, this off-beat science fiction film takes place in 2024, in the ruins of World War IV. Vic (Johnson) and his telepathic dog Blood (voice of McIntire) travel through the post atomic wreckage. But when Blood helps Vic find Quilla June (Benton)—a beautiful, yet stubborn young woman—Vic is lured, without his dog, into a strange underground world where he is scientifically used to impregnate dozens of young women.
LaserDisc Picture:
The Techniscope® frame is 2.35:1. The picture quality is poor in all imaging aspects, even though an archival internegatiave was the element. The contrast, though, between the visual interpretation of the two worlds is dramatic and sets the mood for this wonderfully unique cult classic.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The sound is undistinguished mono.
