Review of Prince of Darkness (1987) by Brad G — 03 Oct 2012
"This is caca." Not my favorite John Carpenter film. But not my least favorite either. Every time I press play on this flick I think I'm going to enjoy it more than I ultimately do. Jameson Parker (of Simon & Simon!!!!!) is just not Tom Atkins, and this film could have used some serious Tom Atkins.
Donald Pleasence is typically gavitas and doom & gloomy. Victor Wong is somehow freaky heroic and dashing. And Dennis Dun is a solid scaredy cat. But Jameson Parker is one boring mustache man and he makes for a terrible leading man.
Which is a bummer cuz SIMON & SIMON ROCKS!
