4.0 out of 5 starsCarpenter's Scariest Movie
By Colonel Decker on 27 Aug. 2012
Format: DVD
John Carpenter is one of my favourite directors, but he hasn't directed anything as creepy as this movie.

Almost the whole film is shot in a disused church, which claims to be holding the son of Satan, or Satan himself.
One by one research students are being possessed.

This is a very effective chilling film with a famailar score from Carpenter.
There are genuine unsettling moments, great character building and a few jump scenes.

An excellent old fashioned scary movie. Don't watch alone.

5.0 out of 5 starsFantastic presentation on Blu-Ray.
By Mr. K. Arts on 7 Oct. 2013
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
*******THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE SCREAM FACTORY BLU-RAY!!!**********

John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness is a slow-burning gem of a movie where a group of physics students go to an old derelict church in down town LA at the behest of an unnamed priest to investigate a mysterious canister of green goo that has been kept secret by the church for 2000 years. Soon the students face a desperate race against time to stop an ancient evil from awakening and destroying mankind.

Prince of darkness was written by John Carpenter using the pseudonym Martin Quatermass. This is a pointed reference to the character created by Knigel kneale for British TV and cinema. It also gives a strong hint for those familiar with the character and the stories an idea of how Carpenter is going to approach the material. Perhaps the most famous of the Quatermass tales was Quatermass and the Pit that took the irrational superstitions and folklore of Britain and added modern scientific plausibility. Carpenter takes the same approach with Prince, offering outlandish but well thought through ideas for Judaeo-christian folklore surrounding the oldest of evils, The Devil.

Like a lot of people, I discovered Prince of Darkness on home video in the late eighties. The film was poorly reviewed on release in the states and dropped out of theaters fairly quickly. Fortunately thanks to the huge market for horror on home video the film found it's second wind and has built up a solid fan base who really appreciate this hugely underrated effort from Carpenter. It boasts one of his more impressive scores, plenty of great actors and a wonderful location. Most importantly it has a great script that deals with its ideas intelligently and philosophically.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsQuantum Physics,, Zombies & Anti-God: All in Widescreen!
By J. L. Probert on 1 Feb. 2003
Format: DVD
This underrated film is far from perfect, but the concepts are sufficiently ambitious to allow you to forgive their rather garbled presentation. Carpenter's script (attributed, in a nod to Nigel Kneale, to 'Martin Quatermass') is never very clear about exactly what is going on and why, and neither is his accompanying commentary track. The film uses what sounds like a rudimentary grasp of quantum physics (but then I wouldn't know) to explain the existence of Anti-God, whose son is trapped in a container secreted in the bowels of a crumbling Los Angeles church. Only now he's trying to escape so that he can bring his father from his anti-matter universe into our own by using mirrors as a portal. Trying to combine science and the history of religion in this way was never going to be easy, and Carpenter deserves some credit for trying to deal with several complex concepts within the context of what is, essentially, a low-budget siege movie. This film continues to divide the fans, but as the DVD Delirium Guide puts it, this is one of those few horror films that actually becomes scarier the more you think about it.
The Momentum Pictures DVD is the best version available of this film to date. The widescreen transfer is excellent, allowing you to fully appreciate the skill of Carpenter's compositions. This disc also improves over the old Image disc by including a commentary track by Carpenter & actor Peter Jason which, while not illuminating, is probably worth listening to once.

4.0 out of 5 starsCarpenter's 'forgotten' masterpiece
By Steve G on 26 Jun. 2011
Format: DVD
Okay, maybe 'masterpiece' is an exaggeration - Prince Of Darkness has a fair few rough edges, one or two questionable performances and a slightly daft semi-central premise that would stop it from ever seriously being considered as such. But for me, as someone who can even find some good in Carpenter's clunkers (except Village Of The Damned, obviously), this deserves to be considered as arguably as his best film alongside those titles like Halloween, The Thing and Assault On Precinct 13 which are normally considered in such discussions.

He creates an unnerving atmosphere right from the very start that threatens to be derailed when you see that some canisters of green slime are supposed to be the horrific centre of this film. But they almost end up being beside the point once it really gets started, and it achieves a level of creepiness that very few films have ever managed for me. Throw in the obligatory Carpenter open-ended climax, and this deserves the reappraisal it seems to have received in recent years.

5.0 out of 5 starsPure Carpenter gold
By Simon Brown on 15 Sept. 2005
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Not gonna say too much about the plot here since it's better to watch it without any preconceptions as I did, and especially good not to know the ending in advance.
All I'm gonna say is, if you like John Carpenter films like The Fog, Assault on Precinct 13, They Live or The Thing, you'll love this, it's intelligent, fascinating, very scary and has a pretty shocking ending. As with all Carpenter film it gave me the creeps as well. There's also some great concepts and some interesting twists on conventional theology and science.
Very nice DVD too in 2.35:1 widescreen with a commentary by John Carpenter. I always think feature-length commentaries are by far the best extra you can get on a DVD.
