As most people who know me are aware, I have a fondness for the older horror movies, so it's no surprise that I would be willing to pop back to 1987 to find an interesting one to review. That interesting one just happens to be John Carpenter's " Prince of Darkness "... A small church in Los Angeles is hiding a secret... a secret that has been guarded for thousands of year. A secret that has existed since before time began. A secret that is finally waking up ... The story concept is fascinating as far as I'm concerned.  The idea, and the basic story was able to carry me along, even though I could unfortunately predict many of the events to occur.  This is probably due to fact that, while the idea was unique, and interesting- the actually telling of it was done in the fairly standard format of the time for such movies. I liked the characters- especially the Priest (Donald Pleasance), Professor Birack (Victor Wong), and Catherine Danforth (Lisa Blount)...
