Polarizing Polar: An Exploitation Film For the Modern Viewer
In the shadow of towering film production companies lived dozens of grindhouses, genres, and low-budget films deemed too “unclean” for the modern film audience.

There is a hint of Armageddon in the air. According to the least-selling book of 1655 —The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch — the world will come to an end on a Saturday Next Saturday in fact. The Armies of Good and Evil are massing, the Four Horsemen have been unleashed. Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring, and everything appears to be going to Divine Plan. Except that a fastidious Angel and a fast-living Demon, who have enjoyed a rather decadent lifestyle on earth for six millennia, are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. They just have to find a way to indefinitely postpone Armageddon. There’s only one problem: they’ve misplaced the Anti-Christ.
