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.
