Magic Marmalade 3rd Dec 2024		Rated 7/10 Rewatched, finally, after several years... sometimes through my fingers! I was all about this movie back in the day, but this must have been on the cusp of my coming to know what a good movie looked like... ...I always knew this was one to file under: "So bad it's good", but now I see it's so bad it's... yeah, still pretty bad, in retrospect. It has a great central premise, that still captures my imagination: Demonic witch-man Julian Sands, captured by witch hunter Richard E. Grant (Dressed and performing as a Scottish caveman, for reasons best known to himself :) back in the 17th century, before Sands is swept up by some sorcerous jiggery-pokery, and swept forward in time to the 1980's, along with Grant, where they will do battle anew in the future... Grant trying to stop Sands getting all three parts of the devil's bible in order to unmake creation. ...Taking up, and Tagging along with grant is Lori Singer who has an ageing hex put on her, which only catching up with Sands' witch-man will fix. But let's be frank... the effects, especially after all these years, are... yikes! There's some pretty wonky acting on occasion, and a heap of convenient plot devices and happenings, but... the two leads are pretty great, in a hammy way, what with perhaps Sands' most iconic role, and Lori Singer is actually rather good at the deadpan comic delivery, and has some real zingers here and there... (Why did she not do more of this in her career? She has a bit of a talent for it!) ...And overall, still a sterling piece of campy, hammy, cult-classic nonsense, that remains entertaining. (Perhaps , though, not as entertaining as I remembered it.) [Note: A reasonably hard one to find on DVD, this original movie, but I've noticed of late, Film4 in the UK is sneaking the odd cult movie in the dead of night, at the end of the schedule, where I got to see this one again from... so keep your eyes peeled to the listings here for some gems you might be struggling to get on disc!] 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
