Good, if not a tad predictable
Considering this film came out in 1999, I'm rather surprised I've never seen it. Watching it back now, I'm afraid to say my enjoyment of it may have been spoilt by not watching it when it was originally released.

For the most part this is a fairly enjoyable supernatural thriller. It's entertaining and there are a couple of decent scares, and the premise is straightforward. The problem however is that I've seen similar stories to this many times before, whether it be on tv (e.g. Supernatural), or films (e.g. What Lies Beneath) etc. I cant say more without spoiling the story, but I'm sure many people watching this would recognise a similar story. It's a shame as this film probably came out before most of the ones I've seen before, but as I watched this 20 years late it just seems like nothing new.

I'm probably being rather unfair with this film, but I cant pretend it doesnt remind me of many others!

Xena: Warrior Princess follows the title character as she seeks redemption for her grisly past.

Accompanied by her soulmate Gabrielle, The Battling Bard of Poutidea, they travel across Greece and beyond, righting wrongs and helping the hopeless.

The show itself incorporates various mythological creatures and dieties of Ancient Greece, as well as the gods and goddesses of many other religions, including Norse, Indian, Christianity and more.

The show is full of action, comedy, and supernatural suspense, great for all ages.

This is a bone chilling page turner! Supernatural meets The Exorcist meets Law & Order in a gripping story that has just the right amount of humor, fear, suspense and resolution.

This book read like a dream. I couldn’t put it down. The story grabs your from the first page. There’s no boring build up. From the first paragraph your thrown into the fight.

This book leaves you ready for the next journey. Packed with everything needed to make a satisfying read and reader.
  
The story here is so good, and everything I could want in a comic. A murder investigation turned supernatural conspiracy encompassing the global financial market. Pulling strings that lead to or take advantage of economic downturns, the various schools rule the world from behind the veil of a free market. The art is so dark and brooding, the characters intense and vibrant, I'm buying this by the issue and the trade, and eventually, when an omnibus is released, I'll buy that too.
