WHERE ARE YOU…? CHRIST?
A priest (Donald Pleasence) invites a professor (Victor Wong) and several students to examine a mysterious cylinder at an abandoned L.A. church; the liquid inside turns out to be Satan. One of director John Carpenter’s worst (and weirdest) horror movies originated out of his sincere interest in science as a way of explaining the supernatural. However, it’s a toss-up as to which is dullest ā the horror or the long conversations. Poor visual effects and exceptionally empty characters.
1987-U.S. 110 min. Color. Widescreen. Written and directed byĀ John Carpenter. Song: “Prince of Darkness” (Alice Cooper, Kane Roberts). Cast: Donald Pleasence (The Priest), Lisa Blount (Catherine Danforth), Jameson Parker (Brian Marsh), Victor Wong, Dennis Dun, Susan Blanchard… Alice Cooper.
