Steel and Lace isn’t a movie I’d heard too much about before watching. In fact, while I had known of the movie in a vague sense, I think it’d be fair to say that I couldn’t have said a single thing if asked what it was about. All of this is to say that I went into this one pretty blind, and I have to admit that while I liked some of the ideas here, along with the effects, I’m not sure the execution was to my liking.

It’s pretty tough to go wrong when viewing an 80s horror movie directed by John Carpenter and also starring Donald Pleasence and from what I remember watching Prince of Darkness in the VHS tape rental days, I quite enjoyed it. I thought it would be a good idea to revisit it now after all these years and give it another viewing but I was a bit surprised that it wasn’t quite as I remembered it.
