In the tradition of PHANTASM, EVIL DEAD, and TROLL (well, not TROLL) comes another sequel that's better than it's predecessor! This sequel to (what else) WARLOCK, follows Julian Sands again as a warlock. Only this time he's more human since he's not a refugee from the Salem Witch Trials. Instead he's the son of Satan, reborn on a solar eclipse through a woman wearing a necklace that bears a magic rune stone (no, not rhinestone). Then, of course, he kills "mommy", and after that, big poppa Lucifer gives Sands a little chore to do: within 6 days time, Sands must find the 6 magical rune stones with which to release dad from Hell so's he can wreak havoc on the Earth (and to pick up a half gallon of Pepto-Bismal and a bag of curly fries from the store on his way home to Hell). With one of the stones in his possession, Sands uses a map made of "mom"s flesh to find the other 5 stones. He sticks a midget in an Iron Maiden (no, not the band, boy-genius), turns a guy into "art", and drops a woman through a skylight onto a fashion show runway on his little quest. Oh, and while all this little unholy journey is being played out, some occultist fanboy named Kenny is hassled by the local football team (as always). Not important? Come on, you should know better than that by now. After Kenny's druid father puts a load of buckshot through the kid's stomach, he and his drinking pal resurrect Ken and give him the job of being some holy crusader to stop the foretold Hell on Earth (would it really be so bad? Honestly?). Along with his hot babe (which NO fanboy occultist has) Sammy, Ken must battle Sands. Oh, and did I mention Sammy's also a destined savior? I didn't? Well, at least I told you that they both have powerful Telekinetic (move shit with your mind) abilities right? NO?! Well, they do... But, despite all this, Sands kicks both their asses and gets the 6th stone from them. During the ritual, as the Earth is blacked out, and Satan is coming through the gateway, the kids flash the stones with headlights from a truck, tainting their evil power. Finally, Sands is sent back to Hell thanx to a knife forged from the Holy Grail (made famous in MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL), taking one of the stones with him. I was caught off guard at how good this movie actually was! Oh, and on another note, this movie also spawned a favorite of mine... the WARLOCK video game for Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo! WAHOO! Godhood DOES have it's privileges!
