Reviews

TV Guide Magazine -
Regardless of his true intentions, Resnikoff has made a screwy horror movie that, despite itself, is fun to watch.
|
|
Washington Post -
A disposable intermixing of son-of-Satan and cop-thriller cliches, featuring the requisite string of murder victims (with bloody pentagrams carved into their bodies).
|
|
Washington Post -
The First Power tries awfully hard to combine two popular film genres -- the police thriller and the occult assault -- and comes up short on both ends.

|
Los Angeles Times -
In this sleek but grisly and far-fetched thriller of the supernatural, [Resnikoff] means to terrify us but winds up leaving us merely numb, the usual effect of contrived exploitation fare. [09 Apr 1990, p.F6]

Miami Herald -
First-time writer-director Robert Resnikoff's visual style is bland at best, and his script has nothing memorable in it -- except for unbelievable occurrences. [12 Apr 1990, p.F8]
