Warlock (1989)
8/10
Fantastic Fantasy! Witchy Witchery!
24 January 2023
Sadly, I revisited this film because Mr. Sands is missing 10+ days in the mountains and the weather is very bad. This is the first film that brought him to my attention and it is an excellent example of his early promise.

This is a story about yester-year witchcraft tossed into a modern setting. Julian Sands plays the title character, Warlock, with devilish finesse. Watching his performance, one might believe that he is actually a psychopathic necromancer! Chased from certain execution in the seventeenth century into 1980's America, he pursues possession of a wicked book that will bring Satan back to Earth!

Warlock is a fun romp with many quirky twists - not the least of which is an early exposure to the difference between "gay" and "queer". Wow. Was it only forty years ago?

Watch this movie and long to fly like a Warlock! I promise you won't be disappointed!
