Warlock, Apocalipsis Final

The son of Satan is born and has 5 days to capture 5 sacred stones to open the gateway for Satan to return to earth and rule forever. Only a pair of warriors can stand in his way.

This is a stupid, pointless horrible sequel that is merely an attempt to make more money rather than make an entertaining horror movie. First the plot is dumb. These sacred stones are the only way to open a gateway to hell....so you'd assume that they would be pretty well protected, or at least a group of zealots would be hunting for them? No - the warlock finds them at a fashion show, in a businessman's office and in a circus freak show. No explanation of how they got there or how the warlock finds them so precisely in such a short time. Also the warriors are of course teenagers who die and come back to life. The whole thing is just stupid and without merit.

The horror is also lazy. There's no tension and no suspense - just gory effects. And poor ones at that, all the effects are very cheap and unconvincing. Also the murders are lazy and just gory for the sake of it, each time the warlock collects a stone he kills the owner in a twisted gory way. At one point he picks up at hitchhiker just to scalp her and then kill her 30 seconds later. It's all done with so little ceremony that it just feels tired.

This drags down the whole film. Add to that terrible performances by Sands (has he ever been good?) and the two teenage warriors (Young and Marshall) and the whole thing stinks.

There is no "yeah it's bad, but...." - it's just bad. The most terrifying moment in this "horror" is the final shot that leaves it open for another sequel. God save us.....
