Chemical Wedding
Co-written by Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson, this 2008 horror film stars Simon Callow (he of so much better stuff than this that it's almost physically painful) as a university professor possessed by the spirit of Alastair Crowley. Crowley only has a few days to perform an occult ritual that will keep him in this body before his spirit expires forever, a ritual that requires the sacrifice of a red-headed woman. Fortunately, one of the professor's students is a red-headed woman. Unfortunately (for us as much as him) it takes him about half the film's running time to make this realisation. In the meantime... whoo boy, does he keep himself busy. There's murder, there's technobabble, there's more bodily fluids than an Andres Serrano piece, and it all adds up to a plot twist so lame you'll wish you'd been sacrificed instead. It's Chemical Wedding!
