Billy Zane makes a great demon here.
He’s suave, sophisticated, intelligent, cunning, physically attractive, a brilliant liar, and he preys on people’s deepest pains and weaknesses as if they were objects to be manipulated as easily as possible and then discarded when they ceased being useful.
Why does that sound familiar?
Zane is great here, and Jada Pinkett (later -Smith) is the second-best character, IMPO.
It could use more depth to the flashbacks (you know, more than two time periods in 2000 years), but otherwise this is a good supernatural horror flick. Meaning, it has humor and intelligence with the gore.
