Lord of the Shadows (1990)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Welcome to the friendly town of Yellow Springs... where the halls of Antioch University hide a secret unveiled by a pair of inquisitive boys. Their shocking discovery engulfs their mentor Peter and his friend into a diabolical society where the power of evil is overwhelming and invincible. Peter, with the help of his comrades Diane and Jerry, must find the courage to face this threat and the tools to wage battle beyond the mere physical plane. The harrowing clashes and cataclysmic finale demand that Peter use unexpected sources of power to face the challenge.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
