      Steve D A lot of talent for such a cheap scare free thriller. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Somewhat of a rip off of The Omen though not nearly as well written or coherent. It's all over the place. One can't blame an 18-year old Rachael Leigh Cook (who is good) for accepting a role in this movie, but the same can't be said for the more established actors. It's straight-to-video material. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member It's been a long time since i last saw this film and there are parts of it i can't remember. I really need to see it again. It was one of my favorite films when i was younger. Rachael Leigh Cook plays a good part and it's one of her best earlier films. It's an intense and gripping film and one i loved and still do, even if i can't remember it all. I really want to see it again someday. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Some good scenes, some noticeable actors but story is hit or miss! Good plot and enough to keep me interested but at the climax blah. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the, now common, "doom foretold" horror films in the school of classic, The Omen. This one can't quite make it's mind up whether it's here to scare us or shoecase Rachel Leigh Cook's good looks and modelling talent as she slightly spookily plays a central character who is meant to be a few years younger than her. Though not without its flaws, the film has a stong cast, a fair amount of satanic atmosphere occurring and, whilst not offering anything remotely original, should be enjoyable to fans of the genre. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member A Satanic cult is bringing the dark lord back to earth and must find an appropriate host body - a gorgeous, young girl. Rachel Leigh Cook's character is targeted as the perfect victim, and what then transpires is fairly formulaic and predictable. All of the usual, old-fashioned horror elements are present - evil cats, coffins, and skulls. Nothing spectacular. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
