Leave your thoughts about The Prophecy.
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob BloomAngels battling on earth, a hammy Walken; church is more interesting. |
| Entertainment WeeklyJ. R. TaylorMixing one of B horror’s lamest clichés (the failed priest-turned-cop character) with an innovative plot device (a long-missing chapter from the Bible), The Prophecy is an old-fashioned thriller with art-house pretensions. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesI like to think that Walken flipped through the script, realized how lame it was, and decided to have some fun anyway. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeIt looked a lot fresher when it was new, but it's still intriguing. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt had great potential, but turned too ridiculous for comfort. |
| VarietyEric HansenDaring and unique on the one hand, but hard to swallow on the other, Prophecy is a fantasy thriller about murderous angels waging a war on Earth. First-time director Gregory Widen deserves a pat on the back for attempting risky balancing act. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleFor all its goofiness, director Widen has made a film with some genuinely creepy moments. |
| Los Angeles TimesDavid KronkeWiden gets an “A” for ambition here, but by the end of the whole shebang, you really couldn't care less. |
| Chicago ReaderAnthony PuccinelliIt's not your usual story line, but Widen makes it sufficiently plausible; unfortunately, the film's fireworks ending isn't as subtle or spooky as the rest of the movie. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonThough the actor (Walken) does little more than stroll through the film, he creates such an immediate sense of electricity that everyone else seems dim by comparison. Angels, devils or cops, they just aren't in his league. |
