809 Lord of Illusions (1995 )

 This Clive Barker effort  was based on one of  his own  short stories which is somewhat ironic as its main fault is that it's too long. The  lengthy prologue sees a Manson-like cult figure Nix ( Daniel Van Bargen ) despatched by Dorothea,  a young girl he has kidnapped and a group of defectors led by star pupil Swann (Kevin O Connor ) who come to rescue her, though they all fear he might return, Swann later maries Dorothea and finds fame as an illusionist using some of the occult magic Nix has taught him but  she  worries and hires a private eye Harry (Scott Bakula) to protect him. The finished film was heavily edited but it's still  neatrly two hours long so you don't  expect lirritating loose  ends  and seemingly  pointless diversions. It's not terrible but could have been a lot better.
