Lololololololoooooooooooooo. This is a fun movie for the right time. Let's talk about:
This is such a silly film. I loved it. It's a perfect 1989 film too - just [chef's kiss] quintessential.
I had a hard time keeping anything remotely like a straight face with this one. Also the woman's hair is so bad.
Here we have the story of a warlock transported from 1600s Boston, just as he's about to be burned to death, only to tornado his way to 1980s LA area for some reason. But wait! A witch hunter is on his tail and also was transported in time. The witch hunter's use of old English confuses the woman who claims she's 20 and has really bad hair - nevertheless, they have to find the warlock together because the warlock blew through her living room window and killed her gay roommate.
This picture is a hard one to hate because it's a hard one not to love. It's really bad and knows it, but leaned into its camp so hard that it circled back into a good time.
This film is to be shown in dive bars with a dedicated clientele. Sound optional. It should be re-watched several times before it becomes appreciated. I mean, it can easily be appreciated right away but this is a cult film for sure.
I watched this while doing several project in the background - and had a good chuckle the entire time.
This movie is a fun outfit. A drink your friends dare you to try. A story a bestie will share with strangers that will embarrass you a little bit but it was still bonding and you laugh because life is short.
I do not recommend this film for folks new to horror films. This is not novice stuff - it's for the hardened camp/cult fans who know how to spot deep-seeded satire when they see it. That and appreciating the time it was created. It's a perfect 1980's horror film storm - or rather a Frankenstein monster.
I watched this film on Pluto or use the Find It! Watch It! links on Horror Habit's side bar to see where else you can find this wacky witchy feature.
