Solidly entertaining witchcraft thriller. Julian Sands gives an excellent performance as a warlock who escapes 17th century Boston to 1988 California where he begins a quest to find the three pieces of the Satanic Bible. Richard E Grant gives an equally charming performance as the witch hunter sent after him. Effects were great most of the time. There is nothing like 80s animated effects. The thing about sorcery films is that they normally fail to satisfy, but Warlock manages to provide pretty much everything you need: creative spells, potions, unorthodox methods, graveyards, play between holy and unholy, and Satanic magic. Yum.
7/10
