Back in 2020, our own Jerry Smith penned a brilliant retrospective of The First Power (written and directed by Robert Resnikoff), which recently celebrated its 30th Anniversary.

It turns out Jerry isn’t the only one with The First Power on his mind. The film’s star, Lou Diamond Phillips, has been reminiscing about the movie–and he’s love to make a sequel! Here’s what he told our friends at MovieWeb during a conversation about Young Guns 3:
“I’ll tell you the one [sequel] I think is really an interesting possibility would be The First Power. I would love to revisit that character thirty years later. And really kind of ramp up the horror. It has a cult following. It was very scary. But I don’t think I’ve made my best horror film yet. I think Jordan Peele and Blumhouse, they have totally revitalized the genre. That is something I think would be interesting.”
You can revisit the trailer and synopsis for The Firtst Power below.
Synopsis:
A Los Angeles policeman (Lou Diamond Phillips) hunts a killer (Jeff Kober) brought back from the gas chamber by Satan.
