Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
View MoreThis movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
View MoreWarlock was one good movies of late 80" when l saw it for first time on TV,since then l try find this picture without success,until in 2015 when this was reissued by a bad dealer here in Brazil,probably the source came from VHS,but somehow l found this picture much better on first time,now revisiting it is dated...the casting weren't good enough,moreover Julian Sands wasn't a proper star,though a fine actor,the plot is fantastic heped by some nice special effects for those time,Lori Singer and Richard E Grant didn't disappoint nobody....imaginative,funny and scary!!Resume: First watch: 1992 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7
View MoreHow mechanically do you burn someone over a basket of live kittens? The best part of old English is the frequency they use "inclined"."Never was there a brute more deserving" is still a killer delivery.Terminator-esque... love the shattering neon sign and escaping noble gas.Lori Singer wearing the killer 80s outfits.Diabetic foreshadowing.His film really moves along.I love how the Warlock plops himself down and silently observes in a creepy yet disarming way.Lovely segue.The best part of witchcraft must be the literal-ness. No wasting time with riddles.Nice Witch compass dialog :) He sure spilled a lot of precious blood.After 2 incidents the cops don't stay around until she is gone?! He curses her just for fun. What a d@$% but a nice rhythm.Lovely driving lesson.The 12 Apostrophes! Nah. I don't need help :) "Men like us!" "You thither... Such as they are"... love the dialog. Extremely efficient.Barefoot Kenny Rodgers?! Who walks around a plane in bare feet?! He deserves to be cursed for that."Lest you favor throttlings to the ears and face..." ... still a tremendous line.That's a viable interest.Of course he cheated.Dog? Nice idea.Still greatly rewatchable.
View MoreWhen I found this movie I seriously thought it would be another horror movie about sorcery and, in fact, the plot revolves around a malevolent wizard searching for a very old book in the twentieth century. But I was wrong: it's a lightweight and imaginative fantasy film, that entertains the audience effectively and allows for good laughs. And only fantasy could forgive such an unbelievable script, far-fetched characters and overly theatrical interpretations. Julian Sands and Richard E. Grant are the lead actors and do what they can to be OK. However, the best way to do that is the exaggerated and cheesy way they always are. Even so, Grant adopted a false accent that always sounds forced. In the past did they speak through the nose? Lori Singer was the one who I dislike the most because she never gets into the spirit of the movie and has no talent for jokes, even considering the comedic potential of her character... This is, in short, a comedy of absurdities with a touch of "B movie" style, which may be purposeful or not. But it's quite nice, if we are in the mood.
View MoreOh man, this movie was fun!-5 for bad camera/quality +/- 0 for special effects, they were not good but somehow they weren't that bad and looked rather realistic for a 1988 B-Movie. -2 for the bad acting +3 for quite kool characters. That good guy totally reminded me of a less capable version of one the Castlevania protagonists. The Warlock was absolutely evil, he was much of a villain somehow you gotta love that guy he is absolutely one of the most villains I ever saw in a movie! +2 Good story somehow, it was fun and really a lot happened. It had it's own type of humor I really enjoyed +1 A lot of different places they went to, a lot sceneries -1 some situations were ridiculous.Even if you can't look at VHS quality, it's rate funny
