Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
Charles Band directed this lacklustre fantasy about a man (Robert Ginty) cursed with immortality by an alchemist (Robert Glaudini) in the 1800s. The main story takes place in 1955, where the ageless Ginty is saddled with a 90-year-old daughter and meets the spirit of his wife reincarnated as a waitress (Lucinda Dooling). Eventually, the alchemist's curse results in the gates of Hell unleashing some unconvincing demons in a yawn-inducing finale. Filmed in 1980, The Alchemist was unreleased until 1985.
