Pretty Good

People are voting emotionally.

Good concept, poorly executed.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Warlock was one good movies of late 80" when l saw it for first time on TV,since then l try find this picture without success,until in 2015 when this was reissued by a bad dealer here in Brazil,probably the source came from VHS,but somehow l found this picture much better on first time,now revisiting it is dated...the casting weren't good enough,moreover Julian Sands wasn't a proper star,though a fine actor,the plot is fantastic heped by some nice special effects for those time,Lori Singer and Richard E Grant didn't disappoint nobody....imaginative,funny and scary!!Resume: First watch: 1992 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7

I remember a time way back in the 80's and even a portion of the 90's, a time when the horror genre used to explore taboos in a fun and entertaining way, a time before torture-porn became the order of the day in serving a delectable horror buffet.Warlock is a fun film. It brings back fond memories of me seeing this film theatrically way back in 1989. It's scary, funny and smart and most of all, entertaining.Julian Sands is rock solid as the titular character, Richard E Grant shines as Redfern and Lori Singer is a treat as the cynic of the piece.Warlock has some wonderful imagery and doesn't shy away from the violence when it needs to. It also has a wickedly funny sense of humour with just the right amount of camp added to the proceedings.For a film now 24 years old, this holds up remarkably well on both a technical and an artistic level. Highly recommended for all genre buffs.

When a warlock escapes capture and lands in the 20th century, a witch-hunter and a young woman must team up and try to find the Warlock before he reunites the pages of a book that will unleash the Devil from hell.This wasn't all too bad of a film and definitely had some pretty entertaining and enjoyable moments. One of the better elements here is the film's action quotient in the second half, which is a lot of fun with a series of confrontations to be had while the different powers are being unleashed, resulting in some overall great fun with the confrontation at the farmhouse and the railroad yard being among the highlights here with some overall fun elements. The finale in the church is where it hits its' stride, with plenty of thrilling action and a great deal of excitement in how it's going to play out with the evil warlock getting the upper-hand quite a bit and the nice tactics employed to stop him. Overall with some fine gore when it gets displayed, there's some good stuff here but there's some flaws here, most notably in the long extended set-up that takes a long time to get going. As well, the fish-out-of-water storyline for the good guy to result in some decent comedy while the evil character has no trouble reacting to the changes in the landscape could've provided some fun before the main story kicks in, but this is sorely missed over and really makes no sense as to why he had to be brought into the different world, but this is still a decent enough entry.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Adult language.

I haven't seen this in decades and it played a lot on TV in the early 90's. It wasn't as good as I remember it as a teenager , but it still is decent entertainment . Warlock is about a warlock that gets transported to the 1980's from the 1600's to obtain The Grand Grimore and unmake creation . Like The Terminator before it , a hero follows suite to stop him . Unlike The Terminator and a lot like many other 80's movies involving time travel this movie is very dated and very cheesy . I thought Julian Sands did a good job as the warlock , the rest of the main cast did 'nt fare as well . However, as cheesy and blatantly 80's as this is I still find this to be enjoyable as I am an 80's child myself and have fond memories of the era. As far as low budget horror films go, I have seen worst. There are a lot of movies from this period that hold up better , but Warlock is definitely decent and watchable.
