Lord of Illusions (1995)
It has been an interesting few days at work, as my new class
and I overhauled a 1950s RCA Victor phonograph (it sounds awesome) and built a
weird vibrating rocket ship. Of course, here at the house, we focused on
completing some things for the Fayette County Fair, which we got to enter
today. Overall, it was just another busy week. Fortunately, I had some time to
squeeze in a movie, Clive Barkers, Lord of Illusions.
Plot/ During a routine case in L.A.
This is by far my favorite film by Clive Barker. The
atmosphere, characters and storyline are tremendous with Barker’s signature
style permeating throughout the movie. More importantly, there is a nice blend
of blood, death and strange happenings woven into the fabric. Yes, some of it
may be a bit over the top, but for me, that was only a small detractor. In the
end, it may not be as famous as Hellraiser no have the cult following of that
classic, but it is a intriguing journey into a magical realm of darkness and a
flick that must be seen (especially, the directors cut).
