Cast a Deadly Spell (on Max) is a 1991 horror fantasy detective film with Fred Ward, Julianne Moore, David Warner, and Clancy Brown. This movie combines two genres –the eldritch tales of H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos and film noir mysteries. I loved this one. Just the tiniest touch of humor and a lack of gore make it quite the fun watch for the season. There is a sequel.

Empire Online gives it a positive review and calls it "An appealing cross-genre idea". Bloody Disgusting calls it a gem.

This sounds intriguing. Too bad I don't have Max.
ReplyDeleteDid you see the outtakes of the presidential debate last night? I laughed harder than if I had been to a comedy club. In fact, most of it was funnier than a comedy club and there wasn't even a two drink minimum.
I didn't watch the debate but have been looking at the video outtakes. Tacky and ignorant by turns. Not that any of it matters, since Trump will get the nomination. It's a sad state of affairs.
DeleteThis sounds good. Must see if I can get it here! Valerie
