YMMV / Warlock (1989)

• Awesome Music: Four words: "Music by Jerry Goldsmith."
• Complete Monster: The titular Warlock serves Satan and seeks to re-assemble the Grand Grimoire, a book which can be used to unmake all of Creation and for which the Devil will reward him with unimaginable power. In the 17th century, the Warlock escapes from the custody of Giles Redferne into the 20th century to complete his task unimpeded. After being taken in by Kassandra and Chas upon his arrival, the Warlock chops off Chas's fingers and bites out his tongue to kill him, and casts a Rapid Aging curse on Kassandra to extend her suffering by forcing her to see her own life go by in a matter of days. The Warlock also possesses an unwitting medium to channel his master and then carves out her eyes to use as a compass; skins a child and boils it down for the fat so he can use it in a flying spell; and threatens to kill a priest's unborn children to compel him to provide the location of the last pages of the Grimoire.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Post-9/11, Redferne being able to get past airport security and onto a plane carrying a four-foot-long sharp-tipped wrought-iron weathervane becomes less funny.
• Retroactive Recognition: The gas station attendant is played by a young Rob Paulsen.
