Kind of stupid and silly, but the guy who plays the devil's servant is creepy as hell. And I also have some weird fascination with Lou Diamond Phillips. I think he's cool.

March 6, 2007The First Power is an absorbing Horror film that deserves a much better reputation than it has garnered over the years. The plot is fairly simple-nothing more than good vs. evil,but the struggle between the antagonists representing each side is where this film truly shines. Lou Diamond Phillips is L.A.P.D Det.Russell Logan-a specialist in capturing serial killers. Jeff Kober is Patrick Channing-a Satanist,turned serial killer who is far beyond anything Logan had delt with in his previous assignments. The ultimate battle these two wage is cinematic pleasure at its best for the admirers of the Horror genre. The special effect are admirable and the script,along with the direction are superb! This film is highly recommended for Horror buffs and for fans of Jeff Kober,the stand out performance. Kober dominates as Channing. You will never forget the sheer evil that resonates from his character.
