A young girl obeys the call of ISIS and goes to the Middle East to join them.
Ah, but this is 1970, and ISIS are a make company, not a bunch of religious nutters, and Gail Bland has been invited to join them as a model in Cairo. It's bad enough being a young girl on her on in a foreign country, but when mysterious people keep trying to get her attention and the make up company doesn't seem to exist, what's a young girl to do?
Well, once the hippy Egyptologist cult started putting the moves on me, I'd be back on a plane quicker that you could say 'Get your idealistic smelly hands off of me and go and get a job'. Gail on the other hands goes to a nightclub with them and has a trippy dream instead. William Berger shows up as a seemingly friendly face who goes on at length about the legend of Osiris, Isis, Seth and someone else which kind of goes some way into explaining why the hippies are so interested in Gail. Romance also ensues as Gail and William take in the sights and try and track down this cosmetics company.
By the mid-seventies, the old 'mysterious cult' plot would have been done to death, but this might be one of the earliest attempts at it. That said, it's lacking in the old gore but if you're a nudity fan you get some of that. There's also a scene where the cultists are performing a ceremony and are seemingly invaded by the cast of Fame, so that gave me a chuckle at least. I'm a fan of William Berger and that carried the film for me, as he always looks like he's having a blast, whatever he's doing.
What was all that crap with the photographs though? That didn't make any sense.
