Soundtrack: Good.
Visually: A Disaster Area. Why? Because the movie was filmed with a 16mm camera and lighting issues were not addressed.
16mm is notorious for making bad lighting situations worse and losing picture quality
(by the truckload) that 35mm easily would have captured.
Look at the shadows in this video and you can easily see that shots filmed at mid-day are
fairly well-lit. This is a must for outdoor 16mm filming but EQUINOX did not abide by this rule,
causing horrendous long shadows that wiped out detail even on the excellent claymation monster.
It's actually a great claymation model but it was shot in bad lighting conditions.
HERE IS THE AD I saw as a kid in the 70s & thought
"I've got to see this movie, I've GOT to see it"....didn't see it for 45yrs!
This is in titles.....funny, its credited as 1970
