Final Analysis: You may or may not have already read the review of this movie on Ben’s page, if not click here. Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of Iron Maiden, wrote this. I don’t care while I appreciate Iron Maiden’s musical endeavors, I don’t care if they make movies. I got this because, as will become more abundantly clear, I am interested by the supernatural and the occult, observationally only. Aleister Crowley is a gargantuan figure in that world. So, this movie piqued my curiosity. A film about Crowley could go several different avenues, I know that originally this was to be a period piece, but the budget to do that and pull it off couldn’t be secured. They brought Crowley in to the modern world and when, and only when, Crowley , is in the story this movie is captivating. The actor playing Crowley, Simon Callow, delivers an amazingly staggering performance. Oscar Worthy. The demonstrate the perversity of Crowley well. This movie is worth checking out for Callow’s performance.

RENT IT FOR SIMON CALLOW'S FEARLESS PERFORMANCE.
