Warlock (1989)

I don’t know whether to label it as supernatural or just plain fantasy, but it sure is good fun. Julian Sands is well-cast as the titular Warlock hunting for a Satanic Bible so that he can fuck everybody’s shit up. Richard E. Grant is a kind of Van Helsing/Kyle Reese/Dr Who hybrid witch-hunter out to prevent those kind of shenanigans from happening by doing his own acceptable brand of witchcraft on the side. It's all very silly, but it's self-aware silliness that knows when to play for laughs and when not to.
