Receiving an old oracle as a present, young Jenny Jorgens (
Caroline Capers Powers) begins communicating with the ghost of a murdered embezzler named William Graham (James Styles) in this wretched occult horror film. Her disbelieving husband Ray (
Roger Neil) thinks that she's gone insane, but Jenny is enlisted by the spirit to avenge his asphyxiation by his wife's greedy lover and a hulking lesbian assassin. This gory, dreadful disaster has little to recommend it to the average viewer. Inept special-effects and obnoxious characters combine to make
The Oracle cult-director
Roberta Findlay's worst film in recent memory. Gore devotees and bad-film buffs, however, will enjoy Powers' hysterical performance, a pair of brutal stabbing deaths, a really phony puppet-corpse, and a bizarre, campy turn by
Pam La Testa as Farkas, the transvestite lesbian killer. Others will want to stay away. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
