An absolute cult classic movie is airing on TV tonight

If you know, you know.

The film follows a group of scientists in Los Angeles who are asked to assist a Catholic priest (Donald Pleasence) in investigating an ancient cylinder of liquid discovered in a monastery.

However, they soon come to learn that the mysterious substance is in fact the essence of Satan.

Unfairly slept upon at the time of its release by most critics, Prince of Darkness' cool mix of sci-fi and horror, palpable sense of dread and surrealistic imagery has seen it come to be regarded as Carpenter's most underrated flick.

The movie is airing on TV tonight on Legend Xtra at 10.50pm. It is also available to rent on Apple TV and the Sky Store.
