Cast a Deadly Spell Movie Review 1991

A bubbly, flavorful witch's brew of private-eye and horror cliches, set in a fantasy version of 1948 Los Angeles where sorcery and voodoo abound, but gumshoe Harry P. Lovecraft uses street smarts instead of magic to track down a stolen Necronomicon--and if you know what that is you'll want to watch. Wild creatures and f/x wizardry complement this cable-TV trick and treat.
