Warlock: The Armageddon.
What a truly surreal piece of cinema. This kind of film could easily fall into obscurity so nobody knows of it, and this is exactly what happened to this ridiculous piece o' crap. Marketed (somewhat) as a horror film, I am amazed it appeared in a random little four film collection I found for E1 in some nameless store in some nameless place. Vaguely remembering seeing the first one and enjoying it, I decided to give this godless sequel a go.
Oh boy.
The film, I think, centres around the weird rebirth of the Warlock, played by the increasingly eery Julian Sands, who I learned played Jor'El in a Superman film, which I can't help but laugh at. He then goes on some quest or other to summon something, probably Satan rendered in shitty CG.
It's a film you can easily forget, but not truly ever forget, if you get what I mean. The plot, the characters, direction, camera work are all easily forgettable, but there is just one particular scene in which the Warlock is doing some unspeakable ceremony in the darkness to summon something, which needs total darkness to do, and then somebody flashes some headlights at him, and his reaction is beyond mere words. I'll try to describe it...
Juilan Sands turns around from his dark practices and sees the light blinding him, and then proeceeds to scream and wave his arms around in front of him in a most comic manner probably intended to show pain or utter annoyance.
BUT WAIT!!!
Is it any good? No, not really. In fact, it is positively awful. But that one scene alone makes it alright.
You know what? Look for the scene on YouTube or something. I'm sure it'll be around Troll 2.
