Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

PHYSC Warlock is a rare gem, a greatly yet humbly filmed movie. It has all the aura of the 80's and also promotes a great take on witch hunting techniques that until I had seen the film never thought might have even existed, the acting is good if not great the plot is brilliant and although special effects were not so contemporary as they are now tries with a full heart to make something magical. Richard E Grant excels himself as does Julian Sands and Lorie singer makes the movie fun with Richard E Grants humorous yet slightly serious methods, Julian Sands brings a cruel crisp darkness to the mix and all falls perfectly in place with the plot, it's really in my personal view a little masterpiece of the time and really tries to keep you in suspense at every new scene. There are but a few movies I see fit for the royal remake treatment and sincerely believe this movie could definitely benefit from a remake, maybe casting Jude Law as the Warlock and may sound funny but possibly Hugh Lorrie as the witch hunter provided he takes a more darker humor style on-board for the role might be a another gem. Sounds funny for me to say Hugh Lorrie but take a pinch of the negative House Md mixed with a witch hunter that is darkly eccentric and may be a match made in heaven Jude Law has a way with the English accent that may just be in alignment with a Julian Sands replacement as the Warlock?

Predrag Okay, it's not the best movie in the world, but it's worth it just to the always good-even-when-he's-bad Richard E. Grant in a heroic role. Grant plays a witch-hunter who follows a Warlock 300 years into the future (ending up in 1991 Los Angeles) to stop him from destroying the world. Grant and Sands seem to have a blast with their roles. Singer is okay as the modern day babe who is forced to help Grant track down the Warlock after he casts a spell on her.Director Steve Miner already had some horror experience, but I think he outdid himself here. I was pleased with the story from start to finish (a stunning rarity in horror especially back then), the acting was solid (but not wowing), the nuance and discovery of mysticism was developed well, and the special effects were really quite good for their time with the ectoplasm's magical energy not at all looking hokey (although the flying was a bit silly by today's standards) and a nice gory finale! The script is definitely a highlight and although being very far from special, contains some excellent moments. I was really pleased with the ending, had a dash of acceptable warm-fuzzy feelings and a bit of clever tongue-in-cheek humor. This film is far better than horror fans today realize and sadly I fear it is overlooked when people delve into 80's and 90's horror to round their film educations.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

bth2004 I will say without apology that most 80's movies that are period, fantasy, horror, sci-fi, or anything similar are pure garbage. This film is anything but! Let's break it down by details:First, the acting. I won't say it was remarkable, but it certainly was above par for the time and subject matter. Julian Sands is always good as a villain, and Richard Grant always does a good job. Lori Singer was a bit weak at times, but not enough to really detract from the movie-- also quite nice to look at, and the lack of a weak romance storyline was kind of refreshing.Next, the effects. The 80's did produce movies with better effects than this one, but they certainly weren't bad--especially for the period. I've seen things made in the new millennium that are worse.Finally, the plot. I won't say it's scary, but the plot was certainly compelling. There were a few interesting twists here and there (especially Renferne's end), and the overall flow was well-paced and anything but dull. If you believe in magic or in God and Satan, then the kick will be even stronger.So, you definitely want to see this at least once. It's a solid 7.5-8. Not going to win any awards, but still quite good. Praise be to God that there actually is an 80's supernatural thriller worth watching!

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.
