Honestly, I liked both movies and wished they were more easily available. Of the two, I think Cast a Deadly Spell is the better movie even if it's cheesy as hell.CTPhippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04226189019351004118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876216494183628999.post-9964270775234096642018-03-08T12:23:09.258-08:002018-03-08T12:23:09.258-08:00I know this is an older post, but I just found you...I know this is an older post, but I just found your site and read this review, and I felt like I was going crazy. See, back in the mid-90s, I saw a movie that was VERY similar to this, but I was positive that it starred Dennis Hopper.<br /><br />Thanks to IMDB, the truth is revealed: the movie I saw is called "Witch Hunt", from 1994, and is also a TV movie. Dennis Hopper plays - wait for it - H. Philip Lovecraft, a detective in a 1940's Los Angeles in which magic is commonplace, but he refuses to use it. I don't remember much about the movie beyond that, except for a scene in which some Hollywood types use magic to summon Shakespere so he can write movies for them. <br /><br />IMDB also says that "Witch Hunt" was billed as a sequel to "Cast a Deadly Spell", but is in fact a reinterpretation. Not sure why they felt the need to remake the movie three years later, but there you go.aetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16935409962724155327noreply@blogger.com
