''Cast a Deadly Spell'' is a 1991 horror/noir movie [[MadeForTVMovie made]] for Creator/{{HBO}}. It was directed by Creator/MartinCampbell and written by Joseph Dougherty.

It's 1948. The plot follows HardboiledDetective [[Creator/HPLovecraft Harry Phillip Lovecraft]] (Creator/FredWard), in a fictional universe where magic is real, monsters and mythical beasts stalk the back alleys, zombies are used as cheap labor, and everyone, except Lovecraft, uses magic every day. Yet, cars, telephones and other modern technology also exist in this world. There's some implication that magic only recently gained widespread use for whatever reason. Lovecraft is hired to recover the Necronomicon, stolen by persons unknown -- although their motives probably aren't: the book contains the rituals needed to awaken and summon the Outer Gods. Complicating Lovecraft's investigation is his former partner Harry Bordon (Creator/ClancyBrown), now a crime boss, who is also looking for the book.

** Considering that he’s former detective turned ruthless crime boss who is perfectly fine with murdering people in horrible ways, and is knowingly and willingly working with the above in exchange for power, it’s safe to say that Harry Bordon is one as well.
