Entry No#12 The killing of Satan

Well, well, well.. looks like someone cut and paste some Frank Frazetta artwork onto some childs depiction of Tom Selleck attacking a ghost lady with an over-large rail spike. I hope that Frazetta demon was stolen, and not actually signed off by him to be used. That would be sad indeed...

Ok, the usual store fading on this one but it's a classic example of the 'more is more' principle. I can imagine the designer talking the producers through his particular box art masterpiece..'We got the devil.. he's a big ass dude, but that's not enough.. throw in a serpent, a rabid dog.. and um.. a mummy! And a shape-changing pixie-creature ghost-woman! Yeah! Pass me the Ketamin..'

Love the tagline.. 'What power should a man possess to challenge the prince of darkness?' Well, quick answer. None. But forget this.. lets see what the film is all about..

IMDB Synopsis: A Filipino-made horror-fantasy movie about a man who is chosen by his dead uncle to battle the forces of evil. He fights a being called "The Prince of Magic," who shoots rays from his hands, makes heads spin around and hypnotizes people. He finally faces Satan himself and engages him in a battle of magic.

Haha, you crazy Filipino bastards.. I guess the title 'The killing of the Prince of Magic' doesn't have the same ring does it. The origin would explain the ripping off of Frazetta's artwork, as no-one cares less for the copyright laws then those crazy, crazy orientals.. Well. Sounds like this could be a pulse-pounding thrill a minute heart-stopper of a flick! Let's see!



Oh you beautiful, crazy bastards... I salute you! Seen the movie? Know something about it? Drop a comment below.
