A Los Angeles serial killer, who carves Satanic pentagrams onto his victims' bodies, gets the death penalty but is able to continue his murder spree by possessing bodies of the living. It is down to cop Lou Diamond Phillips and psychic Tracy Griffith to stop him once and for all. The idea of body hopping is nothing new, straight out of Shocker. And there are a number of horrific dream sequences, reminiscent of the Elm Streets. The First Power is as much a crime thriller as it is horror movie, well enough acted with some good stunts. However I just found it overall rather unremarkable and does look pretty dated now.
