I only own this film because I am a die hard fan of Charles Band and, according to many sources, he was an uncredited executive producer here as well as in three other movies directed by Tim Kincaid. Apparently Band didn't exactly produce those movies, but mostly provided some post-production services and distribution.
The film is terrible. The title has no sense. Who was the occultist after all? A more appropiate title would be "The Bodyguard Cyborg". Nothing can be saved here. The story is ridiculous, the actings are atrocious at the level of a porn movie (that makes sense, 'cause the director was specialized in XXX gay flicks).
I don't understand why Band was interested in financing/distributing Kincaid's stuff. I have also seen "Breeders" and "Robot Holocaust" and they suffer from similar problems. "The Occultist" is the worst of them, 'cause it is all filled with scenes of mediocre dialogues, with little action or horror scenes. The only Kincaid/Band movie I didn't see yet was "Mutant Hunt", starred by Rick Gianasi, who plays the lead here too.
If you are a fan of extremely bad Z movies, you really need to check this.
