The Eighteenth Angel | Year: 1997 Classification: Horror Directed: - William Bindley Actors/Actresses: - Rachael Leigh Cook - Wendy Crewson - Stanley Tucci - Christopher McDonald - Rachel Leigh Cook Decent flick great acting Rachel Leigh Cook plays Lucy stanton, a beautiful young girl who wants something exciting to happen. She kind of gets her wish. She meets a man who promises to make her a famous model. what he really intends to do is use to her to reincarnate Lucifer. Rachel was impressive even back when she made this semi horror movie. The actingis incredible from Cook and Christopher McDonald (who plays her father). There are a lot of other striking performances in the film but most of them are actors that I didnt recognize and can't say I have seen since. If you want to watch a movie with a decent story line, very few plot holes, and an exceptionally well acted cast ,this is the film you want. I enjoyed it immensely and have been a fan of Rachel ever since. This is the best horror movie I've ever seen! I wish I could give It 6 stars, but there is a limit! The first time I saw the "Eighteenth Angel" I had nightmares. That means that it was scary even for me (I've seen lots of horror movies, by the way). There are 4 thing that I liked in this film. Firstly, the pretty good acting from both Christopher Mc. Donald and Rachael Cook. Secondly, the general Idea that Satan may come to earth without being noticed. The end may have allready started... Thirdly, the clock scenes (you can understand what they are and how they are connected to the movie only if you see it) which keep the viewer's interest unspoiled till the end. Lastly, the very good ending which is hard to achieve in this kind of horror movies. All in all, this is one of my best movies. You MUST see it! BEDEVILED In watching this okay thriller, I found myself wondering just how many different ways Satan is planning to come back to earth. This new one about the eighteen angels is one of the wackiest so far, coming supposedly from the Etruscan Book of the Dead. First of all, they get eighteen angels, but only need one? And then when 17 of them are burned to a crisp, what did the purpose serve? Writer David Seltzer must still harbor Satanic feelings, as he is the one who created Damien Thorpe in "The Omen." While that seventies film provided lots of chills and great actors, "Angel" gives us an undebatedly beautiul Rachael Lynn Cooke, a sturdy father in Christopher McDonald and an overacting Maximilian Schell, but it's all been done so much in the past, there's little suspense or thrills involved. Only Wendy Crewson's spiraling fall is disturbing and upsetting. David, if you're going to write more Satanic resurrections, try some more imagination, and maybe let the good guys win every once in a while.
