Very well executed

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The countdown is on...the devil is coming, the devil is coming. And, it wants some beauty, so let's kidnap some beautiful girls. From the phony somber stridency of the narrator's opening monologue, to the stupid clock that gives the countdown, this movie has the most implausible of themes. On first viewing, the movie was rated a 5, for some interesting camera work, and movie tone. But several months and several 100 movies later, a second viewing(why I wasted my time I don't know) warrants a lower rating. New rating: 4 As an aside, in one scene, the husband asks about his wife's work: It's "Etruscans" she says. "Ah, snails," he says. "No that's crustaceans," she says. "No sorry, that's mollusca," I say.

the only thing I still remember of the movie is the stupid pentagram that looks like a Christmas decoration(somebody already wrote about it, I know). Ah, the good accent of foreign guys when speaking Italian: Hopkins was ridiculous when reciting in Latin-Italian in Hannibal. Maybe that was the only aspect they concentrated on while doing this movie and still I don't understand this etruscan book idea where it came from. For what I remember the etruscan civilization was many years before Rome itself was founded and was conquered by Romans before the coming of Christ. So why this weird link. If there's some good history teacher, please help me solve the question. At the moment I left all of my elementary school books in Italy

****** POSSIBLE SPOILERS ******The one thing I did like about the mediocre FINAL CONFLICT was the subplot of the killer monk hit team . THE EIGHTEENTH ANGEL tricked me into believing I was going to be watching a similar type of film that revolves around a gang of killer monks bumping off bimbos but that doesn`t happen . Still not to worry because this film is so awful it`s nearly good . Highlights that caused me to laugh out loud were :Lucy`s funeral speech whilst holding her cat The man eating cats on the rampage The reaction on the actors faces during every melodramatic moment , and boy are there more than a few of those The line about scientists " Genetically making people " ! I was under the impression that all people were genetically made . One half of you contains your mother`s genes and the other half contain`s your father`s genes . If you`re reading this and you`re black but your parents are both white then I`m sorry to tell you this but they are not your parents.Oh and that scene where Lucy turns into a slo mo pouting model when the man starts taking her photograph ! Actually that`s the one seriously bad point about the film - It`s kind of sleazy . Rachael Leigh Cook in my eyes doesn`t look a day over 14 so when Lucy starts discussing modeling in her underwear , or keeps giving a sultry look or that horse riding sequence I couldn`t help but give an audible " YUCK "

"The Eighteenth Angel" is a passable horror film-I really wanted to like it.Of course it's horror,and being a fan,I want to like most horror films.Anyway "The Eighteenth Angel" is a well-made,albeit a bit predictable,horror movie that will keep you entertained from the beginning to the end.The acting is pretty good(Rachael Leigh Cook is definitely very talented and beautiful actress),and there are some gruesome scenes.Director William Bindley does know how to compose effective scenes,but "The Eighteenth Angel" becomes boring at times.Still I'd recommend this one to serious horror fans.7 out of 10.
