Horror Vault's take

Set in a 1950s Hollywood where witchcraft is real and barely concealed, this darkly comic noir follow-up traces a world-weary private eye drawn into a glamorous, deadly tangle involving an actress, a powerful senator, and practitioners of genuine black magic. The film skewers the era's paranoid political climate by playing its witch-hunt metaphor delightfully straight — the witches are real, and the hunters may be far more monstrous. Julian Sands brings menace to the supernatural side of things while Dennis Hopper anchors the story with lived-in cynicism. It's a stylish, knowing blend of pulp detective fiction and occult dread that rewards fans of both genres.
