Synopsis:
'A kind of necromantic Highlander with superior special effects that's both bewitching and absorbing'
Radio Times

Slasher veteran Steve Miner's (Lake Placid) classic 1980s fantasy-horror.
Julian Sands (Naked Lunch) plays the suavely malevolent warlock in this supernatural action-adventure, with Brit stalwart Richard E. Grant (Withnail & I) as his witch-finder enemy. A sinister 17th century warlock summons satanic intervention to secape a death sentence and finds himself transported 300 years into the future. Arriving in modern-day Los Angeles his quest is to find the scattered remains of the 'Grand Grimoire', the devil's bible containing the true name of god and with it the power to destroy mankind. He has not been transported alone however and in steadfast pursuit is the witch-finder who brought him to trial and must now hunt him down once more.
