Day 220: "Do not give him the stone. He is evil!"

I really liked the first Warlock.  Yeah, it was pure cheese, but there's just something about a warlock hunter and his prey that just does it for me.  On the other hand, Warlock: The Armageddon is just cheese gone bad in a big, big way.  There's not a lot to say about this one.  The Warlock from the first film returns, attempting to gather stones to harken the return of Satan, while a clan of druids attempts to stop him.  That's the story.  All of it.  The blood and gore flow freely, as it should in most halfway decent horror movies, but the script is just terrible.  To be perfectly honest, with a rewrite or two, this could have topped the first movie.  It's far from the pinnacle of the horror mountain, but I have seen a WHOLE lot worse.  On a related note, avoid the movie Jack-O.  Without a doubt the worst horror movie ever.  Like Captain America (1993) levels of awful.

Julian Sands returns as the Warlock, again doing a wonderful, soft-spoken, smarmy job.  This guy really should have seen more work, he was a blast to watch.Joanna Pacula and Zach Galligan make appearances here, but that's about it when it comes to star power.  Ultimately a forgettable cast, with the exception of Sands.

If you're in the mood for a goofy, cheesy, gory thriller, check out the original Warlock and let The Armageddon fall by the wayside.  Seriously, if this is what Armageddon looks like, I think everyone should be OK.  5.5/10.

See you tomorrow, and GO WATCH A MOVIE!!
