8/10
Cheesy but macabre.

Warning: Spoilers
In the 80's , Horror movies about the Devil were not very popular mainly because the slasher genre was at it's peek. "Warlock" has some slasher elements and it works perfectly for the movie. The sinister atmosphere is great and that's what makes it a creepy movie. The plot is macabre and devilish but the black humor makes it a whole different experience than the one you expect.

There's gore, violence, and my favorite element, the constant references to the Devil and the anti-Christ. Well, this movie is one of the best of it's kind and should be watched by people who enjoy the supernatural and devilish situations.

There are some cheesy scenes mainly because of the cheap f/x but are okay anyways. Oh and you gotta love Giles Redferne's Scottish accent. He is awesome in his character. His unintentionally funny scenes he tries to adapt to the new world although he's centuries past it.

The Warlock is simply menacing and with a cool attitude. He truly makes his presence to be menacing and evil when it's needed.

Kassandra may be too bland but she's perfect for the role. She's pretty, sexy, and delivers some interesting moments to the movie.

My favorite unintentionally funny quote:

Pastor: May I ask what your interest is in finding such a book?

Giles Redferne: Our interest lies in stopping those who would see all good falter. It lies in stopping the powers of misrule from coming of age. It lies in finding that damned book, and thwarting a vile beast of a man who shall not rest until God himself is thrown down, and all of creation becomes Satan's black hell besmeared farting hole!

Pastor: (Puts an awkward face like "what the f***?!)".

Kassandra: You asked.

"Warlock" is a macabre Horror movie with plenty of black humor and cheese for the please and that's why it deserves to be watched.
