What people are saying

  • Dr Nostromo

    57/100 As the lexicon is busy writing itself, eventually revealing the name of the Antichrist, its protector, Allison, is doing her best to keep the warring angles from finding it. Filmed at the same time as "Prophecy: Uprising", with the same writers and directors, it's pretty obvious that the two films are two parts of the same story. Nothing special story wise, we've seen this one in episodes of "Supernatural", but the writing is exceptionally good, the acting is consistently professional and it certainly is not a bad film. As with the previous one, no action but still a decent view. -- DrNostromo.com
