Abe Adams,a mad scientist/college professor creates a magical powder from a philosophers stone called the Alpha Stone that carries the power of turning anyone who comes into contact with it into a sex crazed lunatic."Curse of the Alpha Stone" is a trashy and sleazy horror flick with very little horror whatsoever.The plot often delves into insane Cronenbergian territory and there is plenty of sex and graphic nudity.I am obsessed with mannequins,so I particularly enjoyed love-making session with a female mannequin.Psychotronic exploitation movies from Something Weird Video are always fun to watch and "The Curse of the Alpha Stone" is no exception.6 out of 10.You can't control the power of the stone!

The basic narrative involving a young professor's heedless experiments in modernized alchemy might have had sufficing steampower for a decent-enough horror picture. Regrettably, those involved surmised that it was a concept best utilized as the pith of a softy sex film. So much for worthy prospects... It seems our beaker-tweaker leading man has merged ancient mysticism with modern-day science to create "The Alpha Stone", a source of awesome power capable of prolonging and revitalizing life...and libido. Said stone also turns a gay man straight(and compels him to screw a department-store mannequin that looks like Edie Sedgwick). Beautiful women are, of course, powerless to the entrancing might of the stone, diving bare-assed into bed with nary the slightest opposition.Weird, weird, weird sci-fi/horror/sexploitation minimalism, well worth a peek by trash mongers. Get yourself "Alpha Stoned" today!5.5/10

Hard to explain this one. A young college professor dabbles in alchemy and creates an "Alpha Stone", which looks like a piece of glowing yellow Kryptonite. He then uses its power to lure woman after woman to his apartment, while his first guinea pig turns from a supposed homosexual to a rampantly straight brother. A lot of the early scenes involve the young man working in his laboratory, interspersed with him arguing with his superiors at the college over his beliefs. Highlights include the aforementioned guinea pig making love to a mannequin, and a woman massaging herself with a vacuum cleaner. Some nudity, but maybe not enough to keep the average viewer awake through this poor effort. Very bizarre.

Fans of Euro-trash horror and general B/Cult movie fanatics will find much to like here. The plot is awful, the acting even worse, and there's plenty of senseless gore and nudity in a wonderfully cheesy 1972 post-hippy environment. And the ending! Oh my! It's like they ran out of film and just decided to stop there! Highly recommended to trash cinema fans, but not to anyone looking for a "good" horror movie.
