Audience Member First of all...there's absolutely no Alchemy to be found in this movie. It was probably rushed out to compete with better films, like Warlock. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Some interesting ideas, but just isn't very good. The acting is horrendous and the characters just don't go anywhere. The character of Aaron and Hester were good, however, as their relationship and story is explored. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Entertaining horror film from the early 80's--Robert Ginty was the man!! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm surprised that no one else has written anything about this movie yet. It's really not that bad, it's not great either, though, it could use more work, but it's not bad. The story is about a woman who is traveling, and keeps having visions of a past life. She and her boyfriend meet up with these old people who recognize her from that past life. The troubling thing is that those people are really weird, from some sort of magical dimension, and they want to take her back there with them. Or something like that. The story could be a little more clear. The special effects were cool, though, and the actors weren't that bad. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
