Lord of Illusions Reviews
These days the horror film is practically a bankrupt genre...
| Original Score: 0/4 | Jun 7, 2022
From the mind of Clive Barker comes....one weird-ass horror noir.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2020
The problem with the story is that it's overlong, full of bland details, and engrossed with bloodshed over sensible occult configurations.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Sep 14, 2020
Awesomely '90s Day-Glo noir, Lord of Illusions has everything you want.
| Original Score: B | Jul 7, 2020
Gruesome but somewhat intelligent supernatural thriller.
| Original Score: B | Mar 24, 2016
Clive Barker is the Douglas Sirk of splatter.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 10, 2015
Sadly, with Lord of Illusions, Clive Barker stumbles into the same pitfalls he did when he made Nightbreed just five years earlier. It's dull, unengaging, and features a plot that is stretched out far past its breaking point.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 15, 2014
It's a sad day for both fright fans and the man Stephen King once prophesied was "the future of horror".

Better than people give it credit for, especially if the viewer fully appreciates the gay subtext.
