Horror 101 – Episode 123: The First Power (1990)

Satan has created the perfect killer. One who cannot be stopped. Be warned.

On this show we cover a Lou Diamond Phillips action/horror from 1990. This film borrows heavily from late 80s resurrected killer movies like Shocker and The Horror Show. Jeff Kober has a menacingly good time playing Satanic killer Patrick Channing. The stunts in this movie are way better than a film of this calibre deserves. This is presented as one of Cash’s guilty pleasures. join us as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Robert Resnikoff’s The First Power.
