    Pursuing a supernatural psycho in Los Angeles

    A Los Angeles detective (Lou Diamond Phillips) teams-up with a winsome psychic (Tracy Griffith) to nab a nutso serial killer who was executed, but uncannily continues to manifest for more slayings.

    "The First Power" (1990) is a fast-paced crime thriller with occult-oriented horror. It takes "The Night Stalker" (1972) template minus the vampire angle and mixes it with the real-life Richard Ramirez case, "Spellbinder" (1988) and "The Hidden" (1987).

    It's as entertaining as any of those three movies, as well as more amusing, but it's hampered by predictableness. For instance, when the protagonist goes into the confessional you know exactly what's going to happen. Then there are some unlikely bits, like a vat of acid strategically placed in a sewer that explodes. Why Sure! Meanwhile the final scene leaves a sour taste.

    Nevertheless, likable Lou works well as the driven detective while Redhead Tracy Griffith is a highlight. You might remember her from "Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland" (1989).

    The film runs 1 hour, 38 minutes, and was shot in Los Angeles.

    GRADE: B-

    Good horror film/ action film

    In my opinion this is a very good film. A super underrated flick and that is usually going to be one of those ones that go under the radar the end up being a very good movie.

    Fun guilty pleasure!

    It bills itself as a horror/supernatural/possession movie, but it feels much more like an 80's style action movie with a detective chasing a criminal who happens to have supernatural powers.

    I'll be the first to admit this one is dumb. It's filled with contradictions. It breaks its own rules. It's not for the thinking man. However, if you manage to turn your brain off and just enjoy the ride, this one is a lot of fun. Lots of fun action sequences!

    Jeff Kober is a real highlight! He makes a great bad guy and has a blast with the role. The other actors are more hit or miss.

    At the end of the day, I have to recommend this one even if many people won't like it. It's worth a try!

    A bit dated now but great stuff!

    I've got to be honest here: I first saw this movie in my teens and loved it, so I might be a bit biased here, ignoring it's flaws. Just saw it again, over 10 years later, and I gotta say, while it didn't have the 'wow' effect it gave me before, It still holds up as a decent movie. This movie is fast paced and just crammed with awesome ideas that sometimes work, and sometimes could have been used more effectively.

    What do we have?

    • An insane serial killer - This guy just oozes evil, amazing bad guy.


    • A very cute psychic - man did I have a crush on her!


    • Plenty of mysterious happenings and scares (though not very scary for seasoned moviegoers)


    • Cool action sequences. That ceiling fan scene is so awesome.


    • Satanic superpowers. How is that not super cool?


    • The pacing is great, with lots of interesting scenes.


    • Nice touches of humor now and then.


    So What could be better?

    • The ending is a bit unsatisfying.


    • Things could be bigger and more epic.


    • While decent, Lou Diamond Philips could be replaced with many other actors, and there are more charismatic ones out there.


    • Seeing it again, it wasn't that scary, but I remember that it was the first time. Could be scarier though, I guess.


    • If you analyze things too much, there are lots of small plot holes.


    This movie is like an older, more low budget version of 'End of Days' with Arnold Schwarzenegger (which I liked as well). If what I told you sounds interesting, this movie is a great way to spice up a boring Sunday evening!

    Eerie vibe of early 90's Horror. I dug it.

    Regular Horror/Thriller that has some decent scenes for the Horror fans. First, it deals with the devil and possession after death. Lou Diamond Phillips is a man tormented by his past and his belief in God is in predicament. He thinks his father didn't deserve to die. In fact, that event causes a series of situations like his mother turning crazy. Could he find the serial killer he is after to? Could he solve the mystery of the First Power?

    Watch it and find it. Not a good Horror flick but sure it's entertaining. My only beef is that it doesn't have a creepy atmosphere or a dark setting; the plot asks for it! Also, there's a point where it's necessary to have some Horror related scenes but the movie focuses more on drama and thriller.

    Lou Diamond Philips' performance is the best thing about the movie. Mrs. Griffith also delivers a nice performance and helps a lot that she's very beautiful and charming.

    Delivers some chilling scenes but relies on the dramatic side more. Be warned you could be bored if you are looking for a straight Horror movie. Still it has a creepy vibe and very well done plot.

    Give it a chance.

      Movie originally had different ending which instead in sewers took place in some warehouse and was lot less action packed. Following the successful test screening producers gave the filmmakers some money and short amount of time to film the new, more exciting ending and to add sequel bait last shot because they already planned to do sequels. Not much is know about original ending or if it still exists, but there are many stills showing parts of it.
