This truly weird and grimy film from the mid-80s looks like someone had been keeping it on a shelf since 1978, 1981 at the absolute latest. I love it!
The Oracle captures something eerily East coast and dark from the late 20th century despite its meandering plot and fair-to-middling special effects. I love that they apologized for the special effects by making them nightmares and delusions...brilliant! No one is going to believe that neon green slime creature is out to get anyone but it's a creepy thought that an angry departed spirit could make you hallucinate until you stab yourself to death.
I loved the touch of the 1950s classic cars and fur coats. I swear the lead actress and the evil, plotting wife were in some New Wave band.
