Warning: Spoilers
In Boston of 1691, a warlock is sentenced to death, but escapes magically into the future, followed doggedly by a witch hunter.

There he is searching for the three parts of the Devil's Bible.

Trailed by the witch hunter and the woman whose house he landed in, they must stop him, as the book contains the true name of God, which he can use to un-create the world.....

Ever since i saw Sands in Arachnophobia, he has always been a Chicken in a Basket style actor to me, Very bad, but very more-ish.

As with the film, it's one of those little lost gems that I have wanted to see since it's initial release but was never able to.

I finally saw the movie, after tracking it down on the Horror Channel, and now I really wish I had saw it when I were 13, because seeing it as a 34 year old super film geek, it just stinks.

The film is devoid of thrills, or scares, and honestly, the most exciting part of this is when Sands is playing a video game with the kid from Baywatch.

Lori Singer provides the bad make up, and Richard E grant proves that Groundskeeper Willie isn't always animated.

he effects are eye poppingly bad, even for 1988, and eventually the film gets sucked up in it's own absurdness.

I saw the sequel before this, and believe me, it's a hell (ahem) of a lot more enjoyable.

so bad it's boring.
