Prince of Darkness (1987)



This is an under appreciated gem of a story that doesn't translate as well as some would like to the screen medium. Small budgets tend to hamper awesome FX and top flight actors but that's not the only reason some of us watch movies. In a nutshell, some student scientists are gathered to study an ancient phenomenon that has chilling ramifications. Some scenes are there strictly for the gross factor, but it doesn't get in the way of some fine story telling. Some of the notions, such as the 'dream-transmissions' are both chilling and just down right cool. No cheats in this one. Points for guessing the cameo.
