The movie details the struggle between an atheist (
Personally, I think they tried to cram too much into one movie and none of it fared well. Plus it is Troma and while they are still a couple years from their Golden Age of Toxic Avenger, they have not yet found their sweet spot. Though I do recall there were a couple of Troma movies from the early 80s that were fine.
Plus the woman playing Moll's wife, Faith Clift, is not very good. Though my favorite part in this is she goes to see a psychiatrist friend and he suggests she go to the Disco to get rid of these nightmares she is having. It comes off as so pandering that he made me laugh. (Psychologists will often suggest a vigorous physical activity to aid with night terrors.)
Maybe if they had split this into two movies, with the detective following the case from both and then had you know a good script. I like the idea of evil, immortal satanic Nazis as bad guys.
Did I mention though our Nazi sucked too? No? Wel,l he did. IF he is the best that the Nazi's and Satan can collectively come up with then the army of evil is nothing.
The movie was released as "The Nightmare Never Ends" but at some point was renamed "Cataclysm". No idea why. Also, the movie has two release dates; 1980 for the US and 1983 for West Germany.

That is RICHARD Moll (Bull from the tv show Night Court), not Martin.
And, as an aside, clips from this film were used in an oddly crafted anthology movie called Night Train to to Terror.
Of course!
I just watched Warlock 2 the other night. There's actually some interesting things in it, despite...well, despite it being Warlock 2 (how Julian Sands ended up in this franchise must be a terribly tragic story of financial need). I'm not a big horror buff, and I was never a big fan of Troma productions, but I've got a bit of a Halloween movie bug this year...maybe I'll check this out.
