Product Description

Amazon.ca

"Satan will no longer be beast... but beauty!" That declaration comes early in The Eighteenth Angel, signaling the kind of horror movie we're in for: thick and cheesy. When that line (and others like it) is uttered by mad monk Maximilian Schell, it's even creamier. Schell is ushering in the return of the Antichrist by genetically engineering Satan's minions, but he needs the transplanted faces of beautiful humans to complete the task. Enter Rachael Leigh Cook (pre-She's All That), who travels with dad Christopher McDonald to Italy, perilously close to Schell's monastery-laboratory. The movie has lots of Omen- style devilry, and it's somehow reassuring to see Omen screenwriter David Seltzer still flogging the old 666 gimmick. The genre has its kicks, but the execution here is pretty clumsy, and Cook is a clueless heroine. For pure camp value, however, Maximilian Schell approaches Rod-Steiger-Amityville-Horror status. --Robert Horton

3.0 out of 5 stars BEDEVILED Feb 1 2004
By Michael Butts TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
In watching this okay thriller, I found myself wondering just how many different ways Satan is planning to come back to earth. This new one about the eighteen angels is one of the wackiest so far, coming supposedly from the Etruscan Book of the Dead. First of all, they get eighteen angels, but only need one? And then when 17 of them are burned to a crisp, what did the purpose serve?
Writer David Seltzer must still harbor Satanic feelings, as he is the one who created Damien Thorpe in "The Omen." While that seventies film provided lots of chills and great actors, "Angel" gives us an undebatedly beautiul Rachael Lynn Cooke, a sturdy father in Christopher McDonald and an overacting Maximilian Schell, but it's all been done so much in the past, there's little suspense or thrills involved. Only Wendy Crewson's spiraling fall is disturbing and upsetting.
David, if you're going to write more Satanic resurrections, try some more imagination, and maybe let the good guys win every once in a while.

Action, of an overnatural sort.
Humor, especially in the begining when the airport guard caught her smuggeling her cat in to Itally.

2.0 out of 5 stars See it for Rachael Leigh Cook, but ignore everything else. Dec 22 2003
By Robert P. Beveridge
Format:DVD
The Eighteenth Angel (William Bindley, 1998)

The first thing you need to know about this movie is that it was written by David Seltzer. If the name means nothing to you, it will after two words: The Omen. You should, by now, have a basic idea of where this movie came from, where it's going, and how it's going to get there.

Lucy Stanton (Rachael Leigh Cook, recently of AntiTrust and Twenty-Nine Palms) wants to be a model. Her mother (Wendy Crewson of 24) is dead set against the idea, and her father (Christopher McDonald, who will forever be remembered as the sleazy Tappy Tibbons in Requiem for a Dream) is just trying to achieve a little harmony in the house. Lucy tags along with her mother to an interview one day, and the two of them meet Father Simeon (Maximillian Schell). Lucy's mother suffers an untimely death while Lucy finds herself getting courted by a modeling agency, who offer to take both Lucy and her father to Italy. All seems on the level, until Father Simeon pops up again...

Let's face it. A bunch of guys in robes standing around chanting to the devil just isn't that novel anymore. Good for amusement purposes, but really, you might as well just go all-out and see The Omen (for that matter, just watch the first three movies back to back, they're all more interesting than this). Rachael Leigh Cook is gorgeous, and some of the special effects are good, but overall the movie could have used a good kick in the pants now and again to get it back on track and throw in a twist or two. **
