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
Boston 1691 the gallows await the Warlock (Julian Sands). What was an apparent triumph of Witch Hunter Giles Redferne (Richard E. Grant) is short lived as the Warlock escapes and is hurled 300 years into the future. Now say a prayer for the City of Angels for it is here in Los Angeles where he begins the task of reuniting three portions of the Devils Book that will reveal the secret name of God. If spoken all creation will be destroyed. Redferne who is also transported enlists the aid of Kassandra (Lori Singer) who has miraculously escaped the Warlocks wrath. But the carnage has begun as the Warlock successfully unites the first two sections. The final portion is buried in an old Boston cemetery... in Redfernes grave! It is on these hallowed grounds where evil magic will confront the strength of righteousness with the future of mankind at stake.Starring: Julian Sands Lori Singer Richard E.

System Requirements:Standard format English (2.0 Dolby Surround) Spanish and French subtitles Theatrical trailer cast/crew bios Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?HORROR Rating:?R UPC:?031398684336Clever 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
