Cassandra is the type of woman who wouldn’t be able to boil water. At some points it seems like she’s either addicted to crack or the filmmakers ran out of make-up for her. Hard to say. On the other hand, I can’t say that she didn’t deal with Warlock. If I went through the same things as she did, I’d probably also end up doing drugs. The premise of this movie is total bullshit. But it doesn’t pretend to be anything else and the filmmaking is good, so I had quite some fun. ()
Openly speaking, I was attracted to watching Warlock because of the high rating it reached - 71%, so I didn't hesitate to wait until very late hours for its broadcast on TV - another movie was running against Warlock, which I was recording. The result disappointed me, and even if I filter out the nighttime fatigue, I wouldn't rate it more than two stars. Similar high ratings often come from uncritical genre fans. If something works in Warlock, it is the mysteriously looking title and theme, which undoubtedly have potential. Unfortunately, the execution is desperately B-grade, meaning unremarkable direction, forgettable performances, and a low budget. Overall impression: 25%. ()
