Yeah, this is an ambitious tale, staring the usually amazing Sir Ian McKellen (actually, he’s the only strong part of this film) and a handful of others that I won’t even bother looking up. I couldn’t even pay attention, and I had NO distractions. If you read this blog even semi regularly, you know that it doesn’t take much for me to find something to like in a movie. I mean, lots of crappy 80’s synthesizer music, dry ice fog and Nazis and Demons…Should be good enough but it wasn’t.
Don’t bother with this one folks. And to think I almost bought the Blu-Ray!

I wonder… have you ever read the original source novel by F Paul Wilson? Because I saw the film before I read the book and I’d have to agree with you – from what I remember it’s a confusing mess. But the book… that’s a very different matter. I read it many years later on a friend’s recommendation and it’s actually rather brilliant. A typical case of a very poor film adaptation…
