If you loved Panik in der Sierra Nova, try Der Manitou
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by William Girdler, and they both carry the 3am cult, dread mood tags, and they sit in Horror / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Panik in der Sierra Nova, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Der Manitou is
A Chicago tenement in January, radiators hissing like rattles. A lump on her back pulses beneath her coat, warm as a second heartbeat. Fetish charms clack in the dark, 1970s grind-house slasher gesture.
