Bram Stoker's Shadow Builder. (1998)
A renegade priest (Michael Rooker) battles a soul eating demon summoned during an Occult ritual.
Not a bad little film let down by some primitive CGI work. It's fairly easy to watch and has the feel of a superior Stephen King adaptation even though it's based on a Stoker short. Rooker is as always good value and is joined in the 'horror name' stakes by Tony Todd (Sadly not playing the Shadow Builder). The script is lively and the characters engage in a film that entertains rather than wows.
