4.0 out of 5 stars
solid entry in the supernatural thriller cannon,
By
This review is from: First Power (Widescreen) (DVD)
as far as the cannon of supernatural movies goes,this one ranks fairlyhigh.it's a really good fast paced thriller,but the Catholic Church is not painted in a very positive lite.if you're Catholic,you might be bothered by this film.most people probably would take it for what it is,a thrilling,genuinely creepy mini portrayal of the occult and it's mysticism.there are a few things that don't quite make sense,but many movies of this genre have that designation.obviously,you have to really suspend your disbelief.if you're person that doesn't easily do that,you could easily pick this movie apart,and probably wouldn't enjoy.or possibly,you might find it so absurd,it's funny.i just accepted it for what it is,and enjoyed it.for me,"The First Power" is a 4/5

The First Power,
By
This review is from: First Power (Widescreen) (DVD)
You can only see a movie for the first time once and so I have to admit that THE FIRST POWER worked on me the first time I saw it in theaters. It moved with such lightning speed that I didn't have time to ponder its snowballing silliness. The director, Robert Resnikoff, knows how to construct an action film--the cinematography is first rate and the editing superb-- he just doesn't know when to stop. There are car chases, horse and buggy chases, foot chases and innumerable shoot-outs, and at one point the killer even brandishes a ceiling fan as a rather laughable weapon and all the action movie huggery-muggery sits rather uneasily on top of the supernatural elements.Lou Diamond Philips, though a tad young-looking to be such a seasoned detective, gives a competent performance. Jeff Kober is obviously having fun playing the killer and it shows; he has a toothy menace that's suitably creepy. Probably the best thing going for THE FIRST POWER is a truly unnerving and effective soundtrack from Stewart Copeland. The director pulls off some nasty mind-trips on the character played by Philips, one where he wakes to find his apartment seemingly covered in blood and another in a confessional booth when he goes to get some answers from a local priest.

Unforgettable,
By Nunz (Manila) - See all my reviews
This review is from: First Power (Widescreen) (DVD)
This film is one that I'd never forget. The story is very intriguing and really gives you the creeps. The idea of having these kinds of powers is really creepy. A classic must have DVD for horror and suspense lovers!
