Tagline: Trust Nothing Except Your Fear

Plot: Thirteen years ago, cultist Philip Swan murdered his group's leader, an evil prophet named Nix who possessed unparalleled skills in black magic. Then he hid the body -- very well.

Now a successful magician in his own right, Swann finds himself stalked by Nix's followers, who want Nix's corpse so they can bring it back to life. Swann's wife Dorothea, aware of the dangers facing her husband, hires hard-boiled detective Harry D'Amour to watch over Philip. Soon D'Amour becomes deeply embroiled in the dark, unstable world of the supernatural, where nefarious illusionists, strange conjurings, creepy cultists, and the mysterious Mrs. Swann all turn his life into a living

 External Reviews
external linkBarker's first misfire suffers from a jumbled plot and slow pace. Unexciting dud from the mind behind the enjoyable Hellraiser, Nightbreed and Candyman films. 2/4


external linkUnfortunately, like much of this writer/director's work, the film suffers from too much pretentiousness. Barker likes to believe that his work is somehow something more than just schlock—which it isn't. But the awesome effects during the film's finish more than make up for these usual Barker flaws.
