7/10
Enjoyable and fun!
21 May 2020
This is actually a really good and fun horror movie. Having said that, do try to keep in mind that we are still talking about Carpenter, and that it shouldn't be taken too seriously. Still, you have to give it to the man. Even if everything he did from late 90-s was worse with every next movie, he still managed to keep the art of at least filming the movie right, if not completely making it right. "Prince of Darkness" is still, on which I am very grateful, a good movie. From the story to the pacing and atmosphere and music; it's Carpenter through and through. We could have survived without jump scares, but I guess old John was afraid of not going with the flow of the market or something and it's OK. Movie won't make you piss your pants, but it has a creepy atmosphere. Oh, and it has Alice Cooper. Yeah. Talk about cool. I give it 7.5/10! It isn't perfect, but a horror movie fan and anyone looking for a fun movie for the afternoon should see this one!
