A woman named Allison
(Kari Wuhrer) tries to protect an ancient
manuscript which tells of the coming of
the Anti-Christ, and an obnoxious
detective named Dani Simionescu (Sean
Pertwee) who has a disturbing past is
spotting many corpses with their hearts
torn out in which he investigates with
his assistant named John Riegert (John
Light).
Dani finds out that John is the devil
himself and forces him to track down
Allison as there's something he wants
with that manuscript but another fallen
angel named Laurel (Doug Bradley) will
stop at nothing to get that manuscript
before him.
During this time period, Allison is told
by an angel named Simon (Jason London)
that she must protect the bible against a
demon called Belial that wants to read
this final chapter to have advantages in
the war of angels.
A great beginning with many shots
on someone running away and climbing over objects
like fences and acting believeably
scared. Plus there's a great moment with Dani Simionescu coming up to him and
pointing a knife at his neck and really
acting aggressive towards him which
looked strongly done.
There's a good moment with both Dani and John Riegert while they
discover a corpse suddenly leaping up which is a nice
jumping moment. We have Dani getting
obnoxious when John tries to
ask if he's ok which was strongly done in
a good way.
We have a nice shot on Clara in a park walking towards
some dogs attacking a woman
with her bending down as well as the bit
part actressis woman leaping up and then a camera
shot looking up on Clara with
her acting possessed in which looked well
done.
There's a nice moment with Dani acting anxious towards John when he speaks coldly to him realising
that he is not the same giving it a nice
suspenseful feel to it as well as him
acting aggressive too.
A good and dark scene with Dani entering a deserted looking psychward
with nice fearful expressions as well as
great suspenseful shots on his past life family acting
dysfunctional and going crazy thing and
then a nice shot on him really losing
control after spotting this.
Many good shots between
supporting character Ion and John in a room together
with good shots on their faces when John
is being questioned and then a good
close up shot on Ion starting to bleed and spit out white
stuff which made the situation look
perfectly twisted and powerfully done.
There's also a good shot on Allison
getting emotional at this abandoned place
as well after spotting her past. There's
also a nice approach with her, John and Dani encountering one
another along with Laurel appearing and bringing on a wicked charm
to try and snatch a book away from Allison and being forceful too as there's many
good shots on this struggling moment as
well as a good shot on her shooting him in the head and then
possessing before falling with a great
close up shot on Dani's blocking
on him slowly turning around and showing
a nice evil expression on his face.
Bottom line is that this flick was
very different than any of the Prophecy
films and I find this one to be the best
of them all showing the odd jumps and
frightening moments too. It's almost like
those older supernatural horror flicks
like The Omen and The
Exorcist showing great
possessions and nice special effects too
with terrific flashback moments on the
mkain character's past lives too. There's numerous twisted moments in the
film which makes you wonder who could be
human or who could be a fallen angel. You
also wonder if everyone involved with
this film is evil and who the real enemy
is too. Check this one out for yourself
as you may get a kick out of it since
this British flick brings out alot of
entertainment surprisingly since I was
never a fan of the previous Prophecy
flicks.
The acting is very
well done as Sean Pertwee (Dani Simionescu) lived
to play an abusive and obnoxious police
officer with his intense aggressions and
violent behavior too proving to be
extremely energetic and revealing many
characteristics to his part in the film.
I couldn't see anyone else playing the
role as well as him.
John Light (John
Riegert / Satan) played the perfect role
as Satan disguised as an assistant cop in
the film acting expressionless and having
a silent attitude with his cold speaking
to top it all off and came across very
clearly that he was indeed the devil in
this film.
Kari Wuhrer (Allison) really knew how to show
her upsetting and crying emotions on the
camera as well as her anxious reactions
on what's happening to her. She brings
good character along with the rest of the
cast members onto the screen.
Doug Bradley (Laurel) really brought on an
evil charm with his personality on the
film and really brought out his nasty
attitude playing a great fallen angel. He
really showed a totally different
personality than his demonic role as
Pinhead and can convince you that he's a
whole different person.
There's corpses with their
chests torn open
There's a homeless person with their
fingers cut off
Many people's hearts are ripped out
Joseph LaDuca composes
the music again with great strong
classical music as well as the great
metal banging sounds and the nice low
violin playing with many chanting sounds
too plus has some terrific music for the
closing credits. |
