Title: How did this go so horribly wrong?
Review: You have a ton of great elements in Lord of Illusions. On paper, this project probably looked amazing. Just reading the synopsis, it sounds great! How could it go wrong? Unfortunately, the sum of all those would-be-awesome parts turned into little more than a disappointing let down.The dialog feels off. The actors don't seem to have enough to work with or maybe it's the wrong chemistry. Nothing is thoroughly explained - even for a mystery. Motivations are either hazy or non-existent. There are many "dead spots" where the film just kind of drags or loses focus. I don't know what happened, but Lord of Illusions sucks. Just saw it again for the 2nd time. My original viewing was about 10 years ago. It took me about a decade to forget how badly all those cool elements fit together.If you're looking for something even close to Hellraiser, then keep looking. This is probably why Clive Barker stopped making films.Awake!Venger As'Nas SatanisIpsissimusCult of Cthulhu
