Movie Reviews of Warlock
Movie Review: Low Key, Well Done Mixture of Horror and Fantasy
Summary: 5 Stars
Julian Sands is the time traveling son of satan looking for a means to bring on the end of humankind and... you know, what have you. A pretty standard idea that combines elements of Terminator with more traditional boogeyman characteristics is given quite a bit of life thanks to a very strong cast (especially Sands as the heavy, but the rest of the cast is worthy of note as well) and a very smart, engrossing script by David Twohy, one of the best filmmakers/writers in the science fiction and horror genres today.
Much like Curt Siodmak did with his trailblazing script for the Wolfman, Twohy puts together a whole mythology from bits of superstition, previous fiction/lore, and A LOT of creativity.
Steve Miner pulled directing duties and, quite honestly, I've always liked his genre efforts (excluding his Day of the Dead)and this is easily his best movie. Unfortunately the special effects are lackluster, this is a low budget movie and some of the more extravagant ideas are not realized very well. I really couldn't care less, but I know that some have a hard time.
This one is definately a personal favorite and, so, I might have overrated it a little bit; however, this movie is just plain fun, original, and full of energy. You don't get movies like this anymore and that truly is a shame.
Summary of Warlock
WARLOCK - DVD MovieClever and original, this horror film directed by Steve Miner (Forever Young) stars Julian Sands as a 17th century warlock who escapes the gallows and is transported--along with the witch hunter who brought him to trial (Richard E. Grant)--300 years into the future. Running loose in contemporary Los Angeles, Sands's supernatural monster sets about reuniting the scattered portions of a Devil's Book that will reveal the true name of God and thus destroy mankind. In a great twist, the last bit of the book is in a very interesting place: the grave of Grant's character, who has enlisted the aid of a woman (Lori Singer) in a hurried effort to stop imminent disaster. Genuinely involving, Warlock is aided immeasurably by sharp performances from the equally eccentric Grant (Withnail and I) and Sands (Naked Lunch). Miner invents his way through a kind of simultaneously new and old horror tale, and the results are taut, fun, and surprising. The DVD release features Spanish and French subtitles, cast and crew information, and 2.0 Dolby surround sound. --Tom Keogh
