The atmosphere fluctuates between earnest exploration and a somewhat eerie line of questioning, which keeps viewers engaged. The pacing is a bit uneven, typical of many re-edited documentaries, but it adds to its charm. Tamba's presence lends a certain weight to the material, and though the original documentary's visuals might not be groundbreaking, the practical effects and interviews provide a captivating glimpse into the world of the paranormal. It’s distinctive in that it showcases Tamba's perspective, adding layers to a film already rich with cosmic themes.

This film stands out in the collector's landscape due to its unique re-editing and Tetsuro Tamba's involvement. It's not widely available, making it somewhat scarce, particularly in good condition. Collectors often seek it for its unusual take on psychic themes and the added layer of Tamba's commentary, which sets it apart from standard documentary fare. While not the most polished piece, it has a certain charm that attracts those interested in the esoteric.
