51: Lord of Illusions (w/ Jonathan Barkan)

Well, all that build up to our first year and it's flown by. That's that. We are now in year two. So it's on with EPISODE 51!  This week, Andy and Mitch are joined by the Editor-In-Chief of Dread Central, it's Jonathan Barkan!  His chosen film? Lord of Illusions!   Writer/Director follows up Nightbreed with this, an adaptation of his own short story The Last Illusion in a bizarre (depending on the version you've watched) film that, while very Barker, is a weird best that demands closer scrutiny. How does it hold up?  Private eye Harry D'Amour travels to Los Angeles and meets with a new client, Dorothea Swann. Swann reveals that she and her husband -- famed magician Philip Swann -- have been targeted by a religious cult experimenting with reincarnation. After Philip dies on stage in the midst of a dangerous trick, D'Amour must struggle to protect Dorothea from the ruthless cult members and their newly reanimated religious leader, Nix.
