A rare Full Moon gem
I find it to be utterly disappointing that this movie never received as much recognition as I feel it deserved. If any movie from Full Moon Studios was ever able to propel it to the level of a major motion picture studio, this was it.
To begin, the main antagonist and protagonist are two of the most underrated actors in Hollywood. Jeffery Combs is brilliant, as has been recognized for years by many movie critics and sci-fi/horror fans. He uses every ounce of his star power in his role as the enigmatic Doctor Mordrid. He makes the character believable.
His opposite, Kabal, is played by the delightful Brian Thompson, who seems to be destined to forever play bit parts in sci-fi movies and TV shows. Fans will recognize him from The X-Files, and also from a cult classic (but unfortunately short-lived) series from 1992 called Kindred: The Embraced. (If you have the opportunity, watch it...you won't be disappointed.) In Doctor Mordrid, he plays a twisted counterpoint to...
Master of the Unknown!!!!!!!!
Two begins from another dimension; two sorcerers with immeasurable powers. One has sworn to destroy the Earth; the other has vowed to protect it. Their timeless battle has crossed over from the fourth dimension and only one man will reign in the end...
Doctor Mordrid (JEFFREY COMBS) is the chosen guardian who can protect the Earth from eternal darkness; Kabal (BRIAN THOMPSON) is his vengeful enemy whose implacable wrath has escalated with time. Kabal has arrived on Earth and is planning to use his infinite powers to unleash a horde of hellish demons to devour and destroy humankind.
Bound by hate and a mystical amulet that holds the powers of life and death, the immortal wizards will meet for the last time. Their centuries-old rivalry has matured into the ancient struggle of good versus evil. Now, their battle takes on majestic proportions as Mordrid and Kabal give life to prehistoric skeletons and begin their final conflict...
A pleasant, goofy little movie
This is a movie, not a book. Doctor Anton Mordrid is a wizard protecting Earth while moonlighting as an apartment building owner and lecturer on the Occult. Jeffrey Combs plays Mordrid with obvious enthusiam. Combs is a terrific actor who deserves some mainstream success. He can currently be seen on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as Weyoun. This film has good acting, a female lead who is NOT a mindless bimbo, only one scene with nudity, and decent special effects. Give it try.
