Warlock Audience Reviews

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Fella_shibby I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs n revisted it recently on a dvd. This movie is definitely for 80s fan. The sequels were awful. Julian Sands clearity in his words was over the top. Lori Singer's hair color n make up were lol. The witch's flying effects were badly done n very laughable. Richard E. Grants face looked as if he was constipated n his mullet hairstyle was funny. The film's initial cinematography was good. The kills were almost nada but the film was good fun for its time.
bowmanblue 'Warlock' was released over twenty years ago and I've only just got round to watching it. And, I have to say, better late than never. It really is a fun movie.No, it never tries to be particularly serious. It doesn't have the budget for that. It's about a warlock (or 'male witch' as we learn they are) who, upon being captured in the seventeenth century, only goes and pulls one of his disappearing tricks and ends up in modern day L.A. And, if that wasn't bad enough, he's only figured out a way of 'uncreating' the whole of God's great existence. Lucky for the rest of us that Richard E Grant and his (interesting) Scottish accent have also time travelled to stop him. So, he teams up with 'average Joette' Kassandra (with a K) and we have our movie.And, 'our movie' happens to be in the same ball park as other great chases through Los Angeles. Due to the film's L.A. setting and the fact that we have two superhuman leads squaring off against one another, I couldn't help but think of Terminator. However, due to budget constraints, it's not quite as slick as the cyborg epic and falls more into those lower budget versions, such as Dark Angel and The Hidden. But then I also loved Dark Angel and The Hidden, so I didn't mind.Warlock's special effects certainly aren't that special, but, by the time you find yourself laughing at how they portray someone 'flying' (I'm sure if you look closely you can see the wires) you should already be enjoying the whole film too much to really care.Take the whole thing with a big pinch of salt. It certainly does. The dialogue is nice as our 'out of time' hero struggles to adapt to modern day living and women who wear make-up. All in all, it's nothing new, but it certainly is fun (you may need an appreciation of low budget 'so-bad-they're-good' type movies to really enjoy it).
A_Different_Drummer An odd phenomenon in the movie biz is that some movies that start out as simply good, or better than average, become, over the fullness of time, and after repeated viewings, iconic and unforgettable. This is a prime example. At the time, it seemed yet another outing for the always reliable Julian Sands, and it introduced to audiences around the world the impish Lori Singer (who to be fair never really found another film that connected with viewers as much as this one.) Even the plot seemed standard, old curse, new problems. But after multiple viewings (seen it about 7 times) you realize that the writer and director really had their A-game on, they really spun a yarn that, in the Indiana Jones tradition, just keeps moving and moving, and dragging the viewer along for the ride. Even the last few minutes -- a trick ending -- seems part of the overall experience. Can safely say this is the best "witch" flick of its kind, all style and substance, no teenage exploitation, and worth a view.
Paul Magne Haakonsen This is one of the better (but somewhat old now) adventure movies with a good sense of thrills that I have seen.The story of "Warlock" is interesting and captivating. And the movie will grab hold of you right from the beginning and not let go before the very end.The characters in the movie are good and enjoyable, each of the three lead roles were well played. Julian Sands with his devilish charms was superb for the role of the warlock, and Richard E. Grant equally well in the role of Redfern. Lori Singer, well she was alright as well.Of course the effects of the movie are not so good by todays standards, but back then they were great. And the movie doesn't suffer from the effects, even when watched today.This is actually the movie that made me notice the acting skills of Julian Sands and I have been a fan ever since."Warlock" is a definite MUST watch for anyone whom enjoy an adventure movie with magics and good thrills. The story is well written and works well on the screen. The movie is one of those that have "repeated-watch" value, you can see it over and over, because it never gets old or boring.
