The continuing saga of the war between Heaven and Earth as an evil Angel wants to destroy humanity. This was not my favourite of the series although it probably has my favourite scene in it, which sees Christopher Walken's Gabriel driving through the desert in a convertible playing the trumpet. By far the best scene of the series.

They made 5 of these in this series. I recently watched all of these, because one of the pay channels had them all in a row. Christopher Walken is in the first three and is always fun to watch. The first one is ok. The second, third and forth are better, and the fifth is pretty bad.

Joel Soisson didn't just produce this one, he also wrote it, and worked with director Patrick Lussier (Dracula 2000, Drive Angry) to wrap up the trilogy of The Prophecy but yeah, there were two more movies to go. That said, this does a fine job of changing things up, as now Gabriel (Christopher Walken) is protecting the half-human, half-angel Danyael Rosales — the child ready to be born in the last movie — from Pyriel the Angel of Genocide who wants to destroy every one of the human monkeys. There's Steve Hytner showing up again as the coroner, who unleashes this astounding display of scriptwriting: "Look. I've had four gutted hermaphrodites burn to black pitch right under my nose. I've had one cop, my best friend, driven insane by the angels shrieking in his head…before somehow spontaneously combusting in a madhouse he had mistaken for a monastery. A pretty young woman, now dead, knocked up by a stranger who left her three months pregnant in only 48 hours. And just yesterday, a young man, allegedly her son, shot up six ways to sundown, crawled out of a drawer and waltzed out like Lazarus. So yeah. I'm pretty much open to a buffet of possibilities." While I wish that the series ended here, I get that the 90s demanded an endless release schedule of direct to video horror. I know that the temptation to keep these series going was high, so if there were five Prophecy movies, I guess that's how it had to be.

Not even Christopher Walken can save this dull, lazy and confusing ending to a trilogy who's quality went downhill fast

And we have reached peak Direct-to-Video. Best part is Christopher Walken. Watch to see the end of his run in this franchise. Also always good to see Brad Dourif.

Exactly what you'd expect from the third installment in this silly horror series. Still, any chance to see Christopher Walken....
