Reviews:

A fun, rather than frightening, late-80s horror film.
An evil warlock (Julian Sands) travels from the 17th century to modern times, in search of the pages of the Grand Grimoire (the Devil’s bible), which, when assembled together, will reveal God’s true name and allow creation to be undone. Hot on his heels is a witch-hunter, Giles Redferne (Richard E. Grant), who enlists the help of Kassandra (Lori Singer), a pretty girl who has been cursed by the warlock (for every day that passes, she ages 20 years).

Written by David Twohy (Pitch Black) and directed by Steve Miner (Friday the 13th Part 2 and 3, House), Warlock is a fun, if unexceptional, slice of supernatural horror. Twohy has obviously done his homework and fills the script with interesting little snippets of witch lore: Redferne uses a witch compass to track his foe, uses salt as a weapon (witches hate the stuff) and creates a potion (from the boiled fat of a boy!) to enable him to fly. Miner’s direction is similar in style to his earlier movie, House, with the emphasis on fun rather than fear. The film is workmanlike but not particularly memorable visually, and is unfortunately let down by some poor special effects.

Warlock is diverting enough entertainment while it lasts and worth checking out if you’re a fan of all things ‘witchy’. Just don’t expect anything exceptional.

A hugely enjoyable late 80’s horror chase thriller winner
An evil and powerful warlock (superbly played to the deliciously wicked hilt by Julian Sands) manages to escape from the 17th century into Los Angeles in the 20th century. He’s pursued by determined witch hunter Giles Redferne (a fine and intense performance by Richard E. Grant). It’s up to Redferne and brash waitress Kassandra (an appealingly spunky portrayal by Lori Singer) to stop the warlock before he gathers up all the pages of the witches’ bible the Grand Grimoire, learns God’s true name, and undoes all creation. Director Steve Miner, working from a witty, compelling, and imaginative script by David Twothy, relates the involving story at a constant snappy pace, spices up the horrific action with a neat line in pitch-black macabre humor, and stages the exciting climax in an old cemetery with real rip-snorting gusto. While Miner basically downplays the graphic gore, he still tosses in a few pleasingly nasty touches: the warlock cuts a man’s finger off, bites the same guy’s tongue out, and spits it in a frying pan and acquires the ability to fly by cooking the fat of an unbaptized boy. Moreover, the casting of the smoothly handsome Sands as one very fearsome villain and the scruffy Grant as a decidedly rough around the edges protagonist is quite fresh and inspired. The film further benefits from bang-up acting from a tip-top cast: Sands, Grant, and Singer are all excellent in the leads, Richard Kuss does well as a devout Mennonite, and Mary Woronov has an amusing cameo as a phony spiritualist. David Eggby’s slick cinematography gives the film an impressively glossy look. Jerry Goldsmith’s typically robust and moody score likewise hits the stirring spot. The special effects are a bit dodgy, but overall acceptable. A highly entertaining fright feature.
