Rating: Summary: This is the best horror movie I've ever seen! Review: I wish I could give It 6 stars, but there is a limit! The first time I saw the "Eighteenth Angel" I had nightmares. That means that it was scary even for me (I've seen lots of horror movies, by the way). There are 4 thing that I liked in this film. Firstly, the pretty good acting from both Christopher Mc. Donald and Rachael Cook. Secondly, the general Idea that Satan may come to earth without being noticed. The end may have allready started... Thirdly, the clock scenes (you can understand what they are and how they are connected to the movie only if you see it) which keep the viewer's interest unspoiled till the end. Lastly, the very good ending which is hard to achieve in this kind of horror movies. All in all, this is one of my best movies. You MUST see it!
Rating: Summary: BBBAADDD!!! Review: I'm sorry if I'm discouraging anyone by saying this but THAT MOVIE WAS SOOO SICK! Who in their right mind makes a movie about beautiful people (Rachael leigh Cook) getting their faces cut off, for SATAN, of all people. Do we have any Rachael Leigh Cook fans out there, or do I stand alone. No offence, but if any Rachael fan liked a movie where she not only gets her life and soul stolen by Satan, but also gets strangled with a rope, gets HER BEAUTIFUL FACE CUT OFF, and gets possesed by the devil, is a little cracked,(no offence). Being the HUGE fan of Rachaels' that i am, I cried sooooooo much durring that movie. i just can't believe that someone would be MEAN enough to put RACHAEL LEIGH COOK in a position like that. I just think that that movie was VERY SICK!!!
Rating: Summary: BEDEVILED Review: In watching this okay thriller, I found myself wondering just how many different ways Satan is planning to come back to earth. This new one about the eighteen angels is one of the wackiest so far, coming supposedly from the Etruscan Book of the Dead. First of all, they get eighteen angels, but only need one? And then when 17 of them are burned to a crisp, what did the purpose serve? Writer David Seltzer must still harbor Satanic feelings, as he is the one who created Damien Thorpe in "The Omen." While that seventies film provided lots of chills and great actors, "Angel" gives us an undebatedly beautiul Rachael Lynn Cooke, a sturdy father in Christopher McDonald and an overacting Maximilian Schell, but it's all been done so much in the past, there's little suspense or thrills involved. Only Wendy Crewson's spiraling fall is disturbing and upsetting. David, if you're going to write more Satanic resurrections, try some more imagination, and maybe let the good guys win every once in a while.

Rating: Summary: Worth a Watch, but not up to par Review: Not up to par in what this film COULD be.
Maximillian Schell totally makes this film.It's his malevolent presence that adds the tinge that takes this from a below average scare, to a nice supernatural piece.
There are parts where the scare could be beefed up, but it feels like the studio who made this piece may have either intervened, or someone toned down what could have been a seriously excellent scare.
Rating: Summary: Yes it's bad...but it's good Review: Ok...yeah the premise for the movie was kinda cheesy and a bit warped. But speaking on that front, it was no more cheesy and warped than any other movie of its genre. Either way, the movie had Rachael in it. Heck, any movie that she stars in gets at least 3 stars in my book (even those really [crummy] ones with Freddy Prinze and Ryan Phillipe). But there was just something about the way Rachael looked in this movie that (even if you're not in love with her) will take your breath away. If you're looking for a good horror flick, look elsewhere. If you're a RLC fan, this is a must-have.
Rating: Summary: This Movie Ruled! Review: Probobly the most cryptic horror movie I have seen in years. All kinds of happy goodness! Rats with no faces, the end of the world what is there not to love???
Rating: Summary: I loved the Eighteenth Angel Review: Rachel Leigh Cook is totally amazing in this movie. The Eighteenth Angel isn't boring, it moves rather quickly and you actually do feel the father's race against time to save his daughter. No this isn't the omen revisited, because everyone know that Damien was born evil. Besides if I even found out that the devil really looks like Rachel Leigh Cook, I'd probably consider converting.
Rating: Summary: Yes it's bad...but it's good Review: Rachel Leigh Cook plays Lucy stanton, a beautiful young girl who wants something exciting to happen. She kind of gets her wish. She meets a man who promises to make her a famous model. what he really intends to do is use to her to reincarnate Lucifer. Rachel was impressive even back when she made this semi horror movie. The actingis incredible from Cook and Christopher McDonald (who plays her father). There are a lot of other striking performances in the film but most of them are actors that I didnt recognize and can't say I have seen since. If you want to watch a movie with a decent story line, very few plot holes, and an exceptionally well acted cast ,this is the film you want. I enjoyed it immensely and have been a fan of Rachel ever since.
