Crowley Review

-


Starring: Simon Callow, Kal Weber, Lucy Kudden, Jud Charlton, Paul McDowell, John Shrapnel

Director: Julian Doyle


Originally titled Chemical Wedding, Crowley (the US title) tells the tale of Neo-Pagan Aleister Crowley, known as "The Wickedest Man in the World", who died in 1947.

50 years after his death, Cambridge scholar Professor Oliver Haddo enters a Virtual Reality Machine, but things go awry and he becomes possessed by the spirit of Crowley.

Crowley proceeds to begin his occult practices all over again, in search for a "scarlet bride" to marry and increase his powers.

I really didn't know what to expect, but this was one of the most kick ass movies I've seen in a long time. Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson co-wrote this little tale and I was surprised. I love Bruce Dickinson, but had no idea that he could write a movie such as this.

Simon Callow, who portrayed Haddo/Crowley was amazing. He freaked me out in so many ways. Even when it was over, I wanted more.

I was more shocked at the sexual overtone in this movie. The implied masturbation and sex orgy scene was a sight to see. There are some death scenes, but not a lot and nothing in the way of gory.

What I loved even more was that both Bruce Dickinson and Iron Maiden provided a few songs for the soundtrack, which was great. Also, Bruce provided a couple of cameos, which was great to see.

It took me this long to finally check Crowley out and I wish it hadn't, but I will say that it was well worth it. I plan to watch it many more times.

Directed by: Tony Masiello and Tim Ritter Remember the good old days of USA Up All Night back in the 90's? Those were the best times and those great memories were brought back with Zombarella's House of Whorrors. Very beautiful and very busty Zombarella presents it's viewers with a SOV suck fest called Tales From the Mausoleum from director Fred Olen Wood. We are also presented with lots of commercials, trailers and 1-900 numbers to titilate your senses. First of all, I didn't know what I was in for when I started watching Zombarella's House of Whorrors, but from the very beginning I smiled the entire time. I remember staying up late night watching these kinda of programs including all those adult 1-900 numbers and this film made me extremely happy. Some of them were a bit ridiculous, but I had a lot of fun watching them. I think my favorites are 1-900-Get-Cream and 1-900-Date-A-Mate. I'd call them if I could. I loved all the trailers that are includ
