When I was a boy, my friend Brian told me this was the scariest movie he had ever seen.
Years upon years later, I finally watched it. The week before last. Shawna, Russ, and I were mining Netflix Instant through the dredges of horror films they have available. Upon much urge, I finally convinced the other two that this might be a worthwhile watch. The selling point to them was that it was about a satanic cult and magic, the former being attractive to Russ, and the latter to Shawna's liking.
Indeed it was entertaining, of course, for a seasoned audience. Did I even need a caveat? I don't think my mom is going to watch it anytime soon...
Anyhow there are a couple things I'd like to note.
1) With some pretty gruesome imagery present in this film it is a wonder Brian was able to stomach it at a young age. That was likely a film that the family sat down together to watch (?)
2) Some really great quotes in that movie:
a) "I was born to murder the world."
b) "What are you?"
"A man who wanted to become a god... but changed his mind."
That second quote I posted on Facebook and, incidentally, my mom "liked" it.
