Phase IV [1974]

1. Squished abdomen.
2. Skittering across her navel.
3. “We didn’t know for what purpose. But we knew we would be told.”

Pretty fantastic. Why this isn’t better known and applauded is a mystery. It would make a great triple feature with The Andromeda Strain and Demon Seed. It’s streaming on Netflix till February 1. Catch it! (Though Paramount should really undertake a new transfer.)
