Review of Prophecy

Chiller: Prophecy (1995)
Season 1, Episode 1
7/10
Doesn't capture the magic of previous anthologies.

The acting talent elevates this silliness. The anthology was made on the back of genuinely spooky programs such as Armchair Thriller, Tales of the Unexpected, and The Agatha Christie Hour which scared us all back in the 1980s. But this series blew its budget on the actors, not the writers or the production itself. It's still watchable, but some of that attraction comes from the nostalgic value. Very MTV, big shoulder pads and hair, etc.

There's almost no story to speak of... some kids go down into a basement and have a seance, one by one they die. There's a convoluted thread which ties the deaths together and a last minute prayer to end it all.
