Plot Synopsis:
Do try to avoid creepy old men in the middle of the Mojave Desert. Former cultist Swann and kidnapping victim Dorothea take down the evil, immortal Nix in 1982. Thirteen years later, Nix rises from the dead and goes after Swann and Dorothea. Fortunately, Dorothea's new lover, D'Amour, has the moxie to take on Nix and send him back to hell for good.
Favorite Moments:
- Nice to see Kevin J. O'Conner (Beni from "The Mummy") playing a leading man
- Butterfield, evil henchman extraordinaire ("Ever watched a man die?"), in gold snakeskin pants and a ballet top.
- Magic Castle shenanegins. Befuddled magicians! Vinovich! Transparently projected monsters!
- Aw! Even demonic cults get to have homecoming! ("While the blood runs warm in your veins")
- Is that the same abandoned mine from Sometimes They Come Back... Again?
- Swann dropping a car on D'Amour (the always-awesome Scott Bakula).
