**_People from 300 years earlier carry on their fight in the present day_**
A condemned practitioner of black magic in 1691 Massachusetts (Julian Sands) is mystically transported to 1988 with a righteous witch-hunter on his tail (Richard E. Grant). The latter teams-up with a young woman (Lori Singer) to pursue his evil prey.
"Warlock" (1989) is similar to “Terminator” with the difference of people coming to the present from THE PAST as opposed to the future. It’s a thrilling chase flick with an interesting fish-out-of-water element. The first half is great, but the second half isn’t quite as effective. Nevertheless, this is a very entertaining flick highlighted by the intriguing noble protagonist (Grant) and the charisma of the wicked antagonist (Sands).
The film runs 1 hour, 43 minutes, and was shot Plimoth Patuxet, Massachusetts; the Greater Los Angeles area, including Santa Paula, California City and Hermosa Beach; and Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah.
