Swiping an idea from Wes Craven's Shocker (which in turn lifted it from The Hidden), The First Power is yet another low-grade spectacular about an evil force that leaps from body to body. The movie is really just a squalid cop thriller with occult clichés, but it got me wondering: If this pass-the-baton villain trend continues, will we one day look back with nostalgia at an era when monsters could actually be killed?
EW's GRADE
DDetails Rated: R; Genre: Horror; With: Lou Diamond Phillips and Tracy Griffith
