Review of Warlock: The Armageddon (1993) by Jon C — 18 Oct 2016

I saw the trailer for this back when I was very little and it was pretty exciting although the movie is so much different when you actually watch it.

Also since this isn't a direct sequel to the last movie, it's like the filmmakers completely ignored what happened previously.

But if there's one thing that this movie has going for it it's Julian Sands; he still owns it playing this charming yet sadistic villain.

This time he is reborn in a very grotesque way and is tasked with tracking down the stones of power to bring his master to our world.

The way he picks off each victim is relentless but in all honesty since you don't know any of them it makes it look like just a bunch of random kills that have no connection whatsoever.

The other plot involves two youths in love finding out they are warriors destined to stop the Warlock and his master's reign of the Earth.

They're ok although it's really weird they live in a town that fears the unknown and their parents kept this secret from them for so long.

The romance aspect is ok, the effects are amped up but they do look very dated, and not once is this movie scary.

Again though Sands as the Warlock steals this movie every chance he gets.

I think he may be along the lines of Wishmaster, you just have so much fun with him but at the same time he is still the main antagonist.

The score is very beautiful I'll give them that.

The first movie was pretty fun, my advice is don't go into this one expecting to be mesmerized since it is NOT a direct continuation.

Terrific makeup effects and prosthetics, too.
