- Quotes
Laurel: [as Belial] Sorry I'm late. We had to stop for petrol and sweets. Ah, what a waste! You know, you really could have made more of this place. The evil that bred here? Such an opportunity, and you let it slip away. And now what have you got left? Just this poor, little head case, and a police officer who thinks he can buy salvation with the money he rips off from drug dealers. Really? And you wonder why I deserted you?

Curious, I checked what online reviews I could locate and most uniformly praised the film as a highly entertaining effort.
Finally my luck paid off and I managed to score a rental copy, and based on my viewing I have to say that the reviewers were right. This is one heck of a tight and entertaining film.
In fact, it's arguably the best by far in the entire series of Prophecy films, even though it doesn't feature the great Christopher Walken at all.
I can only surmise that this film didn't get a theatrical release simply because the powers that be at Dimension Films must have concluded that the Prophecy franchise (if such could be said to exist) was on its last legs and had run its course. It would be a shame if true for this movie completely invigorates the concept behind the films, and lays the groundwork for at least one more film, one of which, I'm now of the opinion, could only be done justice if done by the same director (Joel Soisson) and writers as Prophecy Uprising.
Make no mistake about it. This is not some hackneyed special effects blood and guts fright fest. Rather, this is actually a pretty clever and tightly written suspense film done from a detective perspective. The movie relies on viewers to be familiar with the concept behind the original Prophecy movie, but only in terms of the whole war in heaven issue. Beyond that the movie stands on its own and does a pretty clever take on the concept put forth in the original.
Performances are sound all around. The direction, editing, scoring and production values are all top notch. In short, you really can't go wrong with this most fine of direct-to-video gems.
Now I understand why this movie has been hard to obtain. It's good, pure and simple. Check it out and you be the judge.
