The film tells the tale of an ancient intergalactic entity capable of bearing Earthly children endowed with great powers — which some are keen to harness and some to destroy.
8-year-old Katy Collins is one such child, and as her powers emerge, the battle for her soul is about to begin.
From producer Ovidio G. Assonitis (Piranha II: The Spawning, Tentacles), Giulio Paradisi directs from a script by Luciano Comici and Robert Mundi.
Mel Ferrer, Glenn Ford, Lance Henriksen, John Huston, Joanne Nail, Sam Peckinpah, Shelley Winters, and Paige Conner star.
