The Prophecy Ratings & Reviews
- Aaron SladeMarch 29, 2025As an 18 year old when this came to my local video shop in Byron Bay NSW in 1995, I thought this was cool as hell! This was the mid 90s and I was balls deep into death/black metal, so this film scratched my itch. In 2025 though, its verging on so stupid its fun. But one catch - make sure you get REALLY stoned first, otherwise its just too cringey.
- Matthias_8122d agoTaking the well-worn “war in Heaven” concept and twisting it into a noir-ish road movie. The Prophecy hits with the atmosphere- with desert landscapes, dimly lit churches, and ancient inhuman forces lurking about. Some sickening violent sequences and imagery make the film sweeter. Christopher Walken as a pissed off bloody hungry angel. Viggo Mortensen shows up late in the game as Lucifer. The Prophecy works because it’s part horror, part fantasy, part detective story, and all carried by a killer cast who play it dead straight.
