(imdb has a bug and I gotta write the entire review yet again.) Hate it when that happens.
It's been a long time since I've seen a TV movie that was this good. Clearly from the course language, it probably was not on cbs. But I rented this film after seeing a rather large cross Timothy Dalton carried on the DVD cover.
This DVD is about as bare bones as DVD's come. No CC (is that legal?) no DVD menu's. Plays just like a videotape. But a surprisingly good film. Christopher Plummer is wasted in the film. Then I'm glad to see that guy from Mission Impossible. I haven't seen him since that movie. But the real star is Timothy Dalton. Very excellent acting on his part. Almost makes me want to see his other non bond films.
The movie isn't scary though. However it doesn't come across as silly like The Exorcist. But comes no where near The Omen.
I wish the DVD had more backstory. It says it's based on a true story. But most of it looks like directors license to me. It's also a film that actually shows priests looking up info in the library without top notch security. Which usually shows catholics in bad light. (Stigmata) I think they came off quite well in this film.
9/10
