Steve D A solid end to a so so series. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review sean s 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Liam D Not even Christopher Walken can save this dull, lazy and confusing ending to a trilogy who's quality went downhill fast Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/26/21 Full Review andrew k 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member If you watch parts one and two, this was the perfect ending movie to the story; spoiler: The ascent was of Gabriel who gets his Angelic status back, but what got me to love this movie was the very end scene where Gabriel says that the Word burned even in the darkest of men's souls, and it was there that it burned brightest and for a moment, he was BLINDED....and of course he ascends back up to Heaven. That scene is the best scene I've ever seen in any movie, and Walken is the absolute perfect Gabriel....he played the part with perfection. I just love this movie!!!
