Actor Julian Sands has been missing for almost 2 weeks now on the snowy Mt. Baldy in Southern California. The hiking trail he's believed to have taken is known to be very dangerous, and there're signs of multiple recent avalanches in the area. Despite the diligence of rescue teams combing the area, t's not looking good; Sands' brother has already made peace with the idea that he'll never see his brother again... Update: Julian Sands' remains were found in the mountains. He'd evidently already been dead for several months. RIP

Pow-wow tradition never really hit mainstream and pretty much died out as anything but a curiosity in the 1800's when spiritualism took up the same niche. Now all you can find are a few architectural curiosities like protective woodcarvings and the cultural remnants that made it into the Evangelical movement post Civil War and eventually became modern faith healing. And of course the use of the upright pentangle as protection was culturally demolished the the Satanic Panic.

Never heard of it before this and I kind of wish I hadn't now. I also now know that Ypres (in Belgium) has a festival where they throw cats out of a belfry followed up by a witch burning and parades. These days the cats are plush toys for the kids and the burning's just a faked performance, but apparently they both used to be real. Presumably the when they were still using live (until impact, anyway) cats the kids didn't stand below trying to catch one - although given how deranged the whole thing is, maybe they did.

Gotta love the irony. Of course, he's also fought vampires, and was a Doctor Who villain, and also voiced The Doctor in a non-canon animated bit.

Extra points for candlemass 😃

Hope hard for Julian same everyone... He's been missing since going for a hike earlier this month : ( .

I really like the little bits of folklore in here. Don't see many movies doing accurate folklore stuff like this

Real talk, I watched this movie so many times as a kid. I was too young to get some of the subtexts, but I was never scared, even though I knew the warlock was the bad guy. I was more fascinated than anything.

Sands would make for a great Lucius Malfoy or a great incarnation of the Master from Dr. Who

Definitely!

This was one of my favorite movies when I started enjoying horror movies, around the age of twelve. I'd already discovered my love, and fascination, with witch lore. I also appreciated that they implemented so much legitimate folklore in this movie. I knew what was up with that poor, obnoxious kid, when he asked if he was baptized. The fact that Julian Sands is so friggin hot also didn't do anything to diminish my appreciation for the film! Now I kind of want to watch the entire thing again!

That line about "burned with cats" harkens to the fact that cats were condemned as familiars in those days.

Julian sands is fantastic as the evil warlock. 😀👍

The witch hunter's name was Redferne? For over twenty years, I thought they were calling him Redford.

I thought it was Redford too until I read the inscription on his grave.

Julian Sands, the villain in this movie, went missing while hiking in the Mt. Shasta region. He hasn't been found.

This looks rather fun :) If even part of the point of these reviews (aside from content for its own sake) is to encourage people to watch these films... I often do. Good work, Brandon.

Always a good day when Brandon uploads.

This is definitely one of those movies that's elevated by the acting. As you said, Sands and Grant take their roles seriously, which makes all the difference. And I actually like Lori Singer in this. Though I think she should have torn the Grimoire into pieces and hide it in other places with high salt content. You've got the Dead Sea between Israel & Jordan, Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, Kati Thanda (aka Lake Eyre) in Australia... not only would he have to get past the salt, but there'd be a lot of travel involved. (-:

I realized something when you made the Army of Darkness reference. The priest at the beginning telling Julian Sands how they were going to kill him is the wizard/priest guy from Army that told Ash to say "Klaatu, Verata, Nikto"

My coworkers and I were just talking about this movie last week because we learned of the passing of Julian Sands, and I love the movie. RIP, Julian.

Julian Sands is still reportedly missing while hiking.

If you've ever wondered what the E in Richard E. Grant stood for, it's Enunciate.

What does Mitch Buchannon‘s son do in the desert with Julian Sands? Getting used to the…sand for Baywatch?

I liked Julian Sands in Rose Red (2002) tv mini series. Wish they made a regular series out of it with all the main characters with psychic powers live to investigate more mysteries.

That's my fave performance of his - his friendship with the timid psychic (Judith Ivey) feels really fresh because the 'obvious' thing might have been for him to be cruel and sarcastic toward her. He's as decadent and sly as ever...but also good.

I love Warlock! And I love the Goldsmiths Score :)

Love the Film, such an underrated gem

Me too! The third one is freaking terrible though.

I love the part at the Mennonite home where the gradfather hears the witch finder’s story and instantly believes.

I love this flick. Its such a weird mix of horror, adventure, a buddy cop movie and a fish out of water story.

Missed opportunity to call the warlock Adam.

This film is generally held to be the film that inspired Joss Wheden to make Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I can easily see that being the case.

Now that it's official-RIP Julian Sands

11:33 - Richard Huss! Mr. Huss was also in Route 66, The Deer Hunter, St. Elsewhere, The A-Team, Hill Street Blues, Perfect Strangers, Family Ties, and Law & Order.

Her claustrophobia got in the way of the makeup appliances

You gained 200xp for the candlemass reference.

First saw Warlock II then the original. Really solid acting and you could tell they were having fun with it. Julian Sands especially is an underrated actor!

Yesterday I got news Julian Sands is missing in snow.

I just showed up for the Run Lola Run references.

Warlock WAS an 80s metal band! They were German.

I guess brandon will pay tribute to julian by reviewing Warlock 2 and arachnophobia, may he always be remembered

Thank you for the much needed chuckle, missed the keyboard this time. Peace and good tidings from the Conejo.

Jesus man...that roadrunner soundbyte when he comes flying out the cargo hold...God dang I'm in tears lol. Same with the one you did in star crash, when Caroline flip that girl over, tally-huuupp

Gotta admit, this was a good vidsplanation. Sands is evil incarnate, and he goes right to the edge but never overdoes it. Grant is fine as well, and even though the script is a little muddled at times, the performances by everyone are so good that you (sort of) let it go. Worth watching, just for some of the great scenes in the flick.

For those who don't know... Lori Singer is Beastmaster's Marc Singer's little sister... and the love interest from the original Footloose.

I just remember the trailer for this thing freaking me the heck out as a kid.

One of my guilty pleasures .. Made even better when I recognized Julian Sands in Arachnophobia ...

I loved these films as a kid! Me and my mom watch all of them during Christmas when I help her with cooking and baking. Helps pass the time! 💚

insulin junkie and then the cat scare. Peak Brandon

Oh boy this is a movie I didn't expect to be covered

7:10 The Foley work on the cat's footfalls really made me giggle.

Speaking of Warlock the 80's Metal band, their original singer Doro Pesch ist still active as a solo-act. I've actually met her, after a live-gig,couple of years ago.She's a super friendly & still lovely looking lady. Great sense of humor too, she was joking about her very strong german accent and told some cool stories about Lemmy Killmister, with whom she was friends with.
