Anyway, I know all you John Carpenter fans have been waiting years now since THE THING for a real Carpenter horror flick. Well, PRINCE OF DARKNESS isn't it. The premise of the rebirth of Satan on Earth is very badly set up with a lot of absurdly bad ...read the complete Prince of Darkness movie review at rec.arts.movies.reviews (Bert S. F. Lo)

PRINCE OF DARKNESS is one of John Carpenter's (Halloween, The Fog, The Thing, Cigarette Burns) better movies. The idea of pure eeevil imprisoned in a bottle is a good one, especially when it finds its way out! Carpenter uses a group of scientists turned ...

I saw this a long time ago and liked it.So I decided to pick it up. The story is pretty good and the effects are great. Of course Donald Pleasance does another good job in a Carpenter film. He's been in Halloween and Escape From New York so this would be ...

In a lifetime of watching horror movies, only two films have given me nightmares - Hitchcock's PSYCHO, and Carpenter's PRINCE OF DARKNESS. Now I saw Psycho at the tender age of four (Mom, what were you thinking???,) but Prince of Darkness gave me the ...

John Carpenter was always good. In Prince of Darkness, he out did himself for the time period this was made. Great story & special effects. Highly recommended. ...

I have been a long time fan of Mr. Carpenter's films whether they be good(Halloween, The Thing, Assault on Precinct 13, The Fog, Escape From New York, Dark Star, or Starman) or less than his best(They Live, Escape From L.A., or Memoirs Of An Invisible ...

I saw this for the first time on TV in the early days of the Sci-Fi Channel, and my esteem for this film has grown over the years - its a fun horror movie, but at the same time its very well put together. In Prince of Darkness, John Carpenter ably ...

The secret to a truly scary time watching this movie does not even require watching it....embedded within the audio track are deep bass tones that are too low to hear, however they will make your internal organs vibrate causing a sense of nervousness and ...

Prince of Darkness is a great dark film by John Carpenter. Really, has he ever made an upbeat film ( well, maybe Starman ). Anyway, the film is a nice marriage between religion and quantum physics. In other words, you can become smarter after viewing ...
by D. Allen on March 13, 2007
This is a great movie. There's a blend of sci-fi and horror - old fashioned horror from the 80s. This is a smart movie, a creepy movie, and a horror movie all rolled into one. You will apreciate the brilliance of John Carpenter after this. It has a slow ...

Figures. Just when I thought this movie was about the emergence of the AntiChrist, Alice Cooper himself shows up and all hell breaks loose. ...
