One of the great things about being online are those times when you find someone who just nails a subject.It's even better when that subject is completely obscure and relatively irrelevant to more than a few dozen people worldwide.I love LOVE a review for John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness written by EegahInc over at one of brand new favorite sites The B-Movie Catechism.I have to respect anyone who has the tagline "One man's desperate attempt to reconcile his love of his Catholic faith with his passion for really, really bad movies." We're doing the same thing over here brother. Different denomination however - I'm one of those pesky evangelicals (I have the ugly sweaters and big hair to prove it.)Click on the group of bad actors if you want to suffer through the trailer
I watched this film in my youth many times. It is an unmitigated piece of crap but there was always something about the film that intrigued me. The nearly incoherent plot combined with the striking visuals always drew me in. It's always been one of those films I've known better than to consider but did anyway.
Head on over to read the review and check what else he has going on. Looks like I have a new link for my blogroll.Please note that my support of this review and my positive tone about the film DOES NOT translate to me recommending this film to anyone. Just because I'm stupid enough to sit through this doesn't mean you are. This is a horrible movie. One of the reasons I think this film is named Prince of Darkness is because this is the kind of movie you'll find playing down in Hell.

Hey, thanks for the kind words. Coincidentally I just discovered this blog about a week ago after reading one of your reviews on another site. I'll definitely be linking here.
"I have the ugly sweaters and big hair to prove it." You're not Marjoe Kitner are you? If so, I just watched your documentary.
