Prince of Darkness

PRINCE OF DARKNESS (1987) - Oct. 26, 2010
Though not exactly up there with John Carpenter's classics, this was a decent film about a bunch of academics who go to an old church to study a strange phenomenon -- sinister stuff ensues.  Well directed by Carpenter (with a classic Carpenter synth score) the film is kind of cheesy in parts, but also quite tense and fairly suspensful at times.  There are a lot of characters here, and none of them are particularly well developed, but the film is enjoyable enough and never overstays its welcome.  ***
