Prince Of Darkness

Prince Of Darkness (1987)
Dir: John Carpenter

A research team discovers a mysterious cylinder in a deserted church that contains the liquid essence of Satan himself.
Atmospheric horror that makes the most of a creepy setting. The sense of foreboding is present from the start and gets more intense as the film goes on. Carpenter is on good form here, utilising a strong story and decent cast to make a truly terrifying little chiller.
