Review of Lord of Illusions (1995) by Zach T — 29 May 2011

Be ready to be surprised by the wonderful diamond in the rough that is Lord of Illusions. Between the hard-boiled detective and the satanic magic aspects, don't be surprised with this movie has you wrapped around its finger.

Sure its campy at times and the visual effects are a bit dated, but the solid, sinister story and respectable acting keep you hooked from the very beginning. And with Clive Barker directing, the movie took great bits of Barker Mythos and fused into a movie that was intensely satisfying and intimately dark.

With all that being said and without hesitation, I can tell you that Lord of Illusions is destined to be one of the greatest cult movies ever.
