Amazon.com:
Clever and original, this horror film directed by Steve Miner (Forever Young) stars Julian Sands as a 17th century warlock who escapes the gallows and is transported--along with the witch hunter who brought him to trial (Richard E. Grant)--300 years into the future. Running loose in contemporary Los Angeles, Sands's supernatural monster sets about reuniting the scattered portions of a Devil's Book that will reveal the true name of God and thus destroy mankind. In a great twist, the last bit of the book is in a very interesting place: the grave of Grant's character, who has enlisted the aid of a woman (Lori Singer) in a hurried effort to stop imminent disaster. Genuinely involving, Warlock is aided immeasurably by sharp performances from the equally eccentric Grant (Withnail and I) and Sands (Naked Lunch). Miner invents his way through a kind of simultaneously new and old horror tale, and the results are taut, fun, and surprising. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - If You Like A Real Review - Warlock
I watched Warlock with low expectations, and I wasn't disappointed.
Interestingly, somehow it spawned sequels, a Warlock II and a Warlock III
although the 3rd movie is only nominally a sequel, since none of the actors nor the plot bear much resemblance to the first and second films.
Very early my thoughts were: What makes a bad film worse? NO ENGLISH SUBTITLES! (sure sign of low budget). Second: Oh, the horror! The horror of bad CG, that is! This is not really a "horror" ... Read More
Rating:  - Not scary - very dated, kinda humorous
I love horror movies, but this one is very dated and campy. Had to fast-forward through much of it.
Rating: - Considered To Be Barefoot And Extremely Dangerous...
Way back in 1691 a warlock (Julian Sands from Arachniphobia) is captured, given a chance to repent, and sentenced to death. Luckily for the warlock, satan's forces are used to save him. He disappears before our eyes, along with the witch-hunter who caught him! Three hundred years later, the warlock shows up in modern day LA in order to find the scattered pages of a powerful satanic book. If re-assembled, the book will show the true name of God, ushering in the "uncreation", thereby wiping out all life ... Read More
Rating:  - He comes from the past to destroy the future.
Warlock is a bizarre 80's horror flick that had some fantasy and witch craft elements to it and it features two great British actors Julian Sands and Richard E. Grant who were both terrific in their roles the only problem I had with this film was the special fx which looked abit dodgy especially when the Warlock starts flying into the air, the special fx looked kind of outdated. The story's about a witch hunter from 1691 named Redferne (Richard E. Grant) who has been chasing an evil warlock thats been ... Read More
Rating:  - A Goth Must Have
If you are into Vampires and all things Goth or horror films from the 80's then this is it. This 80's classic is campy, funny, and all in all a MUST WATCH!
Buy it today and then get the sequel. Julian Sands does an Excellent job as most great actors do!
