Review of Prince of Darkness (1987) by James C — 25 Dec 2009

John Carpenter is a guy who?s made some pretty good movies, but all too often his films are plagued by a lot of B-movieish things. This is a bigger problem here than it usually is, this is a movie that doesn?t have as many of the things I like about Carpenter?s movies and delivers on the things I dislike about the guy in droves.

The acting here is just straight up shitty and this isn?t helped by the lame dialogue. The whole movie plays out in one boring location and the supernatural scares are all really lame. Few redeeming values.
