Calling All Avenging Angels...

by dpjohansen , May 20 '05
Pros: Walken as Gabriel and Mortensen as Lucifer are superb.
Cons: Holey plot (pun intended) Weak characters.
The War in Heaven between God's army of Angels has been raging for thousands of years, with the Angels battling against each other, the war has been in stalemate mode for a very long time. The gates of Heaven are closed for business, St Peter's out of a ...

Not bad for a bunch of Talking Monkeys

by mellkinwa , Mar 10 '01
Pros: Christopher Walken, effects, dark humor, story
Cons: Virginia Madsen came off a little flat, some plot/timelime problems
When I was invited to participate in the scary/horror movie write-off I was very excited. You see I love movies, but I really have a special place in my heart for horror movies. So I began to think of the movies I could write about a lot of movies came...

A theological action thriller impossible you say?!? I think not...

by Tibullus , Feb 01 '02
Pros: story and plot are beautiful, acting is wonderful
Cons: tough to follow in the beginning, leaves a bit too much for imagination
In this review, I've decided to vary my format a little bit. Don't worry, my wild side has been kept in control here, its not like I decided to follow one of the much, much better writers of epinions in their style, but for some reason, this time when I...

There is a war in heaven and hell is about to break loose. The Prophecy

by talyseon, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 10 '08
Pros: Genuinely creepy, original and interesting.
Cons: Not big budget; could have been awesome with just a bit more effort.
The Prophecy (1995) Directed by Gregory Widen ”Did you ever notice how in the Bible, when ever God needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whenever God needed a killing, he sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a creature like ...

Roughed Up By An Angel

by markantony , Dec 31 '00
Pros: Original, Engrossing, Strong Plot and Actors
Cons: Short
It does us great harm to water-down and simplify religious concepts. One of the most important aspects of this alternative history of angels is how it stresses the fearsome power of angels.

Every holy manuscript mentioning angels describes...

A well done and thought provoking angel alternate history.

by JazzcatCB , Sep 12 '00
Pros: A refreshing and intelligent take on the old angels vs. demons story
Cons: Stretches believability at times; some story elements are underdeveloped
Prophecy is a rare gem. Amid so many campy and predictable movies concerning the war between Biblical angels and demons; Prophecy takes the subject matter seriously. Not only is this movie intelligent and thought provoking, but it also creates an...

The Lobotomizer

by jeff_wilder78 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 06 '01
Pros: Walken and Stoltz give good performances.
Cons: Attempts to be scary like The Exorcist. But falls flat.
"There's a war going on in heaven".

Ohhhh scary. Unfortunately The Prophecy does not quite live up to the potential scariness of that line.

The Prophecy stars Christopher Walken as the angel Gabriel. Gabriel has gone bad and plans...

VERY amazing indie title

by Grendelguy , Apr 06 '00
Pros: Great story, scary characters, Christopher Walken does a great job
Cons: somewhat confusing at first
After you see this movie, you will have to ask yourself: "How did I never hear of this? HOW?! HOW?!" Prophecy could very well be the best movie you are not watching.
Not only is it a THRILLING addition to the horror genre, but it really...

Holy War/Apocalyptic Revelations

Pros: Chris Walken
Cons: The next few Prophecies were...: (
I am now going to tell you a story about an incredible movie. Those of you who have seen this movie (should) know of the greatness I speak off. Although it's not as magnanimous as greats such as GLADIATOR, and Braveheart; it's still awesome. We've...

Rad but Fluffy

by opiyum , Apr 05 '01
Pros: Freaky plot, Chris W., Interesting Scenes.
Cons: Could have been a little more in depth.
Allright I thought this movie was good. But it's just not quite deep enough. I say rent it when you have no other options. I mean concidering the subject matter, I think they could have gone a lot further with it.

Christopher Walkin's...

"Would You Ever Really Want to Meet An Angel?"

by basesurge , Feb 16 '05
Pros: Walken. Aragorn before he was Aragorn. Nifty idea and pretty good script.
Cons: A little silly at times. Gorey. Not for angel-huggers or biblical literalists.
I don't specifically remember what first attracted me to this movie, I guess eight or nine years ago now, but whatever it was I was hooked after my first viewing. First of all this movie is the 1995 angels/War in Heaven movie staring Christopher Walken, ...

Like a very good X-files episode...

by casualsuede , Oct 25 '00
Pros: Excellent ideas, cool acting
Cons: Offensive to some, some scenes could have been done better.
The Prophecy is like the x-files because it touches on mysteries of humanity, portrays it like truth but explains it more in the realm of psychobable.

Thomas is our Fox Mulder. He is a wayward Seminary priest that loses his way and becomes a...

What a Waste...

by daRealDeal , Oct 27 '00
Pros: Walken is one scary lookin' sucker
Cons: Lack of theme; lack of character originality
How sad that Christopher Walken is wasted. How sad that this movie can't figure out whether it's a thriller, a comedy, or a provoker of thoughts. How sad the plot doesn't live up to the otherwise inspiring idea of divine dissention. How sad that...
