There aren''t too many original ideas in this film about a time-travelling warlock from the 17th Century ( the dreaded Julian Sands ) pursued by a vengeful hunter ( Richard E Grant ) with the aid of a modern-day plucky heroine. There are distinct echoes of The Terminator , Highlander, and Time After Time to name a few. There are effective moments but mostly this is too silly to be enjoyable with Sands as wooden as ever and Grant seemingly making up the plot as he goes along in a dodgy ( and completely unnecessary) Scottish accent.
Lori Singer ( as Kassandra)
Sex : No
Death : Survives
Lori was born in Texas into a musical family and she herself became a musical prodigy as a solo cellist at 13. She went to a prestigious music school but then moved into modelling and then acting, inspired by her brother Marc ( best known for V). She got a good part in the TV series Fame which was written around her talents then made her fim debut in Footloose. After Short Cuts in 1993, her film career waned and she has moved into producing documentaries with some success.
Nancy Fox ( as Boy's mother )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
Nancy is another Texan who made an impact as a teenager in the early seventies in the medical comedy Temperatures Rising. Thereafter, she worked steadily in TV and on stage but only made two films. She is still active.
Anna Levine ( as Pastor's wife )
Sex : Warlock feels her up and determines she is pregnant
Death : Uncertain
Anna was born in New York and came up the hard way with bit parts in many eighties films before starting to get meatier roles in the nineties by which time she was known as Anna Thomson. These included The Unforgiven, True Romance and The Crow.She seems to have retired after 2012.
