Not exactly regarded as a pinnacle of the horror genre, The Eternal is notable
for one reason only: That Christopher Walken is in it, as a blind man wearing
octagonal-rimmed glasses. The movie's relatively engaging until Walken comes
and goes at around the 30-minute mark: Alison Elliott is a freaky alcoholic who
keeps passing out and wants to know why. Too bad the answer has something to
do with mummies, druids, and an old family house that largely causes its
occupants to appear in slow motion. Zzzzzz.
Oh: But watch for Jared Harris's Walken impersonation at the 42 minute mark.
Aka Trance and The Eternal: Kiss of the Mummy.
