Prince of Darkness (1987)

Edit this Page
John Carpenter Director previously directed Big Trouble in Little China

Donald Pleasence and Victor Wong battle a demonic ooze that threatens to bring about the end of the world.

Quote: Prof. Howard Birack

Let's talk about our beliefs, and what we can learn about them. We believe nature is solid, and time a constant. Matter has substance and time a direction. There is truth in flesh and the solid ground. The wind may be invisible, but it's real. Smoke, fire, water, light - they're different! Not as to stone or steel, but they're tangible. And we assume time is narrow because it is as a clock - one second is one second for everyone! Cause precedes effect - fruit rots, water flows downstream. We're born, we age, we die. The reverse NEVER happens... None of this is true! Say goodbye to classical reality, because our logic collapses on the subatomic level... into ghosts and shadows.
