This Movie Is Awesome

Yeah i agree, well i wouldn't say it was awesome, but ever since i first saw it as a 13-14 year old with my older sister, it has always been a favourite of ours.
Its nothing special, but there is something about it which even today still gets my attention.
The final battle scene i always enjoyed, along with a few quotes in the movie that have stuck with me for years.

One of my fav scenes is...

After you just learn that in order for the warlock to be able to fly, he needs fat from a boy that hasn't been baptised, we see the Warlock on the swings with the boy playing the handheld electronic football game and he tells him he's a Witch and he can't step foot on church ground, then the boy says 'witches are girls, you aren't a witch.... witches need a broomstick to fly'
then the Warlock says, 'i need no broomstick to fly'
the boy says, 'oh yeah, then what do you need'
the warlock just gently pushes the boy on the swing sort of laughing to himself in an evil cunning way because of the boys naivety.
Then it cuts to the scene of the Warlock frying up the boys fat.
I love that scene :)

Another fav quote is...
When she's been aged 40 years with her old crackly voice 'Redferne the compass!'

Its amazing at how obscure things can stick in someone's mind.

Anyway, i enjoyed this movie alot and i still do 15 years later.
It starts off a lil slow and looking quite low budget, but i find it easy to get engrossed in it.
Julian Sands plays the character very well, his powerful voice and his english accent is a great mix.

Yeah, it is. It's cheesy to the max, but it's incredibly funny.

A couple of my favourite scenes:

At the beginning when the Warlock arrives in the modern time and lands in a house with the guy and the woman, they take him off to bed. When he wakes up he mumbles something 'I must...' and she pushes him right back into bed saying something like 'oh no, you need rest'... and he doesn't object. Heh... that was just real, real funny, if you take into consideration who he's supposed to be in that movie.

The next one of my favourite scenes is where he visits the spirit channeler, and upon seeing him, says 'I only do groap...uh..group sessions' I just had to crack up bigtime O__O I'd watch it again any day.

(Although to be honest, I like the second part better. I guess Sands is more menacing in that one.. and he looks better)

very good movie...i love it as much as the second (altough that one is more b movie)

they should make a sequel/prequel

i have a thought for the new freddy vs jason, why not have julian sands as warlock again i would love to see him as warlock again. if anyone has some thoughts on this, even if you feel it's a bad idea, please let me know. im trying to find someone else with as deep a passion for these movies as i have and hoping someone could help me come up with a basis for this if it were to ever become a film.

I agree. This film is a great deal of fun. Julian Sands was deliciously wicked as the warlock.

"We're all part Shatner/And part James Dean/Part Warren Oates/And Steven McQueen"

Aye, this film has a charm all of it's own. It's not a particularly 'good' film but nevertheless one that can withstand repeated viewing. Something very endearing about Richard E. Grant as Giles Redferne. In fact I suspect this is what gives the film it's magic.


We can't stop here. This is bat country.

I love it! Cheesy but it knows it. Tongue placed firmly in cheek. :)

"Hey! Ladies! That was fun!"

Yeah, I have to admit that this is a pretty decent 80s horror movie that's aged better than most.
