Close behind the use of Three Dog Night at the beginning of the movie, this song is used to soundtrack the first killing. A wonderful choice of eerie other-worldly music to supplement deeply disturbing images. I was once given grief on social media for offering support for this song. Don't care! Donovan is very much a hit and miss artist and some of his stuff is mired and dated. He's an artist that has been openly mocked ever since he first appeared and not just because of Don't Look Back. His songwriting often invites it. Donovan's considerable and enduring ego make him and his songs an even more susceptible target. This, I'd say endures. Music that attempts to bridge a link to bygone ages automatically lays itself open to ridicule. I'd still suggest this song withstands what can be thrown at it. Oh, and the drumming's wonderful.
