Review of Warlock (1959) by Chris H — 15 Oct 2008
It's like I say, I really into witches (boy or girl), and Warlock is such an awesome horror film! it's about an evil Warlock (Julian Sands) who escapes execution in the past by traveling through time to our present (1988). He's followed here by a witch hunter (Richard E. Grant from Bram Stoker's Dracula) trying to avenge his "goodwife" Marian (whatever the heck that means - a girlfriend or wife or what). He teams up with a modern girl Kassandra (Lori Singer), who had an aging spell placed on her by the warlock. The warlock is trying to gather the pieces of the devil's bible - The Grand Grimoire and undo all of creation; you know the book does exists : The Grand Grimoire is a black magic grimoire (spell book) that claims to date back to 1522. It is widely suspected that it was written some time in the 19th century. It was ostensibly published in Cairo by a person known as Alibek the Egyptian. Also known as "The Red Dragon", this book contains instructions purported to summon Lucifer (The Devil) for the purpose of forming a pact. In the film's story, the book had truly supernatural properties and was therefore separated into three sets of pages so as to prevent its evil power from being misused.
I kind of like the KassandraxGiles pairing (though no one ever thought of doing a shipping of them), to me it's like Rumiko Takahashi's Kagome & InuYasha (only it's the other way around - it's like the man who overcome time and the girl who helped him).
