You didn't mention one of my favorite lines
Gabr: "If you were a soul, where would you hide ?"
trapped servant: " The hell away from you..."
Yes xD It's fucking amazing little gag
He also forgot the zinger Dagget hits Lucifer with at the end of the movie, which is "I have my soul and my faith. What do you have, angel?"
Viggo Mortensen and Peter Stormare are both on the #1 spot for playing the devil for me. Both perfect in their unique approaches.
One of my favourite underrated gems. Problematic in places, but damn, what a cast and fascinating story. Viggo Mortensen makes for an unsettling Lucifer.
I agree with you. It really shines in parts. But I just don’t understand why the filmmakers at some point just said “aw fuck it, it’s good enough.” They a potential rival to the omen and the exorcist, but they just got sleepy or something. I just watched it again and the first act is handled with so much love and care, what happened in the third act? This is the moment when Lucifer shows up and you make that anticlimactic?
why they never put this on TV.
back in the day they always had reruns of this and the sequels.
Him saying “I love you more than Jesus” angrily with his mouth covered in blood always creeped me out
What separates average or above-average horror movies from bad ones is that the former have at least one great scene or set-piece. In this movie, it's the cave scene where Elias Koteas sees the remnants of the battle in hell. Really awesome visual.
As somebody who recently found your channel (and somebody who is a PhD student in biblical studies) I really enjoyed this review. It’s a fun piece of religious fiction, and I loved your breakdown of the film!
Christopher Walken is awesome as Gabriel and very hypnotic too. That shot of his eyes during the church scene...wow.
Lucifer: little Tommy Daggett. How I loved listening to your prayers before you jumped into bed, so scared that I was under there...and I was!
I loved this bit. Loved 1 - 3 than tapped out.
I thought it was lovely that redemption isn't exclusive to humans.
I've binged the whole shebang last week, myself. #4 and #5 felt like a completely different story.
@@celiashen5490 right? 4 and 5 have interesting ideas but aren't really prophecy movies . Instead tbh they kind of remind me of what part of a real version of that south park episode with kenny helping fight a war in heaven would look like . I have no idea why...
Really enjoyed the first 3 though especially gabriel. But Lucifer is up there too.
Edit: thought I'd add the little girl honestly terrified me when i first saw this movie lol so that's pretty impressive to i have to agree with deus
In the deleted scenes/alternate intro, Thomas is being monitored by Satan. Doubting Thomas.
"I love you, I love you, I love you more than Jesus!" Lucifer in this was amazing.
the dent in the lip is one of my favorite lines ever.
Walken and Mortensen are impecable in this. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I come back to this video every now and then. It's a shame Deus Daecon doesn't upload anymore.
Love this movie and the review, but do feel the need to point out the reason Gabriel's servants were so crushed he brought them back, as they were both suicide attempts who wanted to die. I got the impression that was lost in the translation.
Christopher walken rules if they used his voice for one of the demons from doom 3 that would really make it a terrifying experience
"And if you don't like it... tough". Man, the more I watch your videos, the more I love your channel and your way of reviewing stuff.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the content I really appreciate it
This is absolutely one of my favorite movies, which is so strange, because like you, I usually avoid anything to do with religion like the metaphorical plague.
I dodge religion too, but I find it makes for good inspiration for fiction most of the time and I've not really encountered the proselytizing all that much over the years. Sure, God, angels, demons and all that jazz is considered to be real within the confines of a given work of fiction but I never get the feeling it's trying to recruit me. But, I may be drawing too much from video games, where this may be much rarer than movies inspired by Christianity and/or other religions.
Lol "just spray him with water". 😅😅😅
Anyone else think that one Angel who died looked like Tommy Wiseau. Oh Hi Simon. LOL
I gotta admit, Gregory Widen wrote some awesome ideas, and seems to have a thing for immortality (this and Highlander).
Beings of similar power\strength clashing over different ideals and desires, with other creatures, usually humans, ending up involved sometimes forcibly...
Well yep checks out
Edit: some of the attention to detail in both is pretty great though. The man might have had a type but it worked for him
NEEDS MORE COWBELL!
a line the guy Gabriel is keeping alive later used in the film Deja Vu.
I have a fever and the only cure is more cowbell!!!
I swear it was Eric Stoltz's scene where he gives the soul to Mary that inspired his casting in The Butterfly Effect...
Every now and then throughout the video, whenever it cuts from footage of the movie back to Deusdaecon, I can't help but think he looks a little bit like Charlie Day, lol. There's just something about his eyes and beard that fucking reminds me of a British Charlie Day. Does anyone else notice the resemblance, or is it just me?
I'll take that as a compliment.
Anyone else notice Jerry's Stand-Up Nemesis *Kenny Bania* as the Autopsy Doctor???
"Why do they call it Ovaltine? The jar is round, the mug is round... They should call it Roundtine! That's gold, Jerry!"
I'm curious if the Prophesy series is in the same universe with the Adam Sandler movie, Click. I mean Christopher Walkin does play the angel of death in both franchises. Either that or it's one hell of a coincidence.
Love this review, think this is my 4th time watching it! Always love going back over favorite movies with other interpretations of them! As always keep up the great work bro!
Holy crap Aragorn, that's one hell of a way to talk to someone. :o Yeah, him and Stormare are some of my favorite movie Devils. And come to think of it, I could totally see Matt Ryan strolling right into this movie and leaving a trail of cigarette butts behind him.
+KiramidHead Ive always felt the first movie atleast had a very hellblazer vibe.
deusdeacon
The basic attitude towards angels isn't too far off. Although, imagining Walken as Hellblazer's Gabriel is kind of... funny.
+KiramidHead Although lets be honest hes not too far off from the keanu reeves movie version of gabriel
deusdeacon
Ha, true. And imagine Koteas as the Americanized Constantine... :o
It would still be as close to the comic version as reeves was.
This looks amazing! I gotta go watch it now.
Amazing review yet again.
guess symon had some kind of psychic power of mind manipulation (also that would explain the no questions asked sex from the 2nd movie)
Murderous renegade angels on the rampage? Quick! Somebody call Bayonetta!
IAmTheUnison hahaha your comment is the bestest!!! 😇 bayonetta would whoop all there butts!
IKR XD
Yep!
I remember watching this when I was ~10ish and the scene with the impaled angels and freaky black eyes giving me nightmares - fun times :D
I'd like to think that Christopher Walkins reprise his role as Gabriel in the movie Click. after all, he did play the angel of death in that movie.
Yes! its here...woot. Thanks for uploading Deacon
This movie clearly inspired the show Supernatural.
Eberything inspired that show. But you can definitely see the similarities
I liked the show but always got the feeling like it was a sketch show, like a SNL parody series, since every story arc felt like it was ripped from another movie or show.
Why are there multiple movies where Christopher Walken plays an Angel of Death? That’s such a random archetype to pin on him...but it works.
*asks how to get down*
Me: Just get off the stepladder behind your chair
Yeah, There was no step ladder used (I don't own one), I may not really be standing on my chair but trust me standing on a load of books stacked on my desk behind the chair with only my toes, Was anything but easy to get down from.
+deusdeacon
Appreciate the effort for your videos.
I honestly prefer you as my favorite movie critic. You aren't overly snarky(Brad Jones) or trying too hard for comedy(Doug Walker). You're just.... Intelligent
Thank you very much I really appreciate that.
Could you review Legion? It has an interesting premise and similar themes to the Prophecy, as well as some decent scares, but is so damn disappointing
Anna Charest Legion feels kind of generic.
Anna Charest legion is a top film
YES!!! I really like that movie!!! I usually don't, but for some reason, I do
Lol your disclosure wasn’t really needed judging it the way you are is beyond appropriate it’s as well as an adaptation as Percy Jackson’s movies.
Walken being a composite of Gabriel and The angel of Death in theory would be nonsensical but that name and his Walkens demeanor bring it together beautifully I don’t think anyone could fill those shoes. And Yes!! I agree Vigo is the best portrayal Lucifer Ever!
I like this depiction of lucifer, but would be more interesting to me is showing a depiction anywhere in film of what he was like before he fell and became the devil we know him to be. Because it was told that he was beautiful and his grace shined the brightest(his name Lucifer meaning bringing light, or morning star). I would like to see anyone come up with that depiction of a graceful ambitious character who increasingly depends into hatred for god and rebels. Its a cool idea and would make a fascinating story.
+Rigor Mortis I like that idea, I mean john miltons paradise lost is esstenially all about lucifers ambition, and his hatred for gods rule, "Better to reign in hell, than serve in heaven" as the quote goes.
I know this comment is more than 3 years old at this point, but I had to add my recommendation and just hope you see it.
Memnoch the Devil by Anne Rice is about Lestat meeting the devil, who essentially wants to offer him a job. There's other stuff to wade through of course, its and Anne Rice novel, but the middle section of the book is the devil telling his entire life story to Lestat in the hope of showing that he isn't now nor has he ever been "evil." His greatest crime was constantly *questioning* God and being afraid that he'd made a mistake. Memnoch (which is says is his real name) and the other angels were completely flabbergasted when humans appeared on Earth, then intrigued and fascinated by them. But when they started to experience true suffering from disease and starvation and war Memnoch couldn't bear their suffering and flew into the presence of God with endless questions and accusations.
There is SO MUCH MORE to it but I had to stop myself before I ended up posting a damn book report. I highly recommend you check it out. There are mentions of things that happened in various other books in her Vampire Chronicles but you don't need to have read those to enjoy this. Its a very sympathetic and interesting take on the origin of Satan (a name he *loathes* but is quick to point out only means "I Accuse")
Lizz Leonard I came to give this exact recommendation.
Devin Lavole..People have been waiting for a production of Paradise Lost for a long time but humans are too busy looking to the stars. There was a British production on television in the 1970's but I struggle to find the weekly series that aired. The series followed the creation, Eden, Adam and Eve and Lucifer sitting upon the throne of Heaven before God returns and .... was a long time ago and I was a child.
I remember having seen this movie when it first came out in theaters, I was 15-years-old, and exiting from the theater disappointed. I was fully expecting to see what the trailer and commercials kept showing: an epic battle of Angels. Instead getting a lot of talking characters occasionally interrupted by short bursts of action scenes. Not what I wanted to see. A few years later and a little older with a better capacity for understanding how film narratives work I started watching it on late night TV and was absolutely taken in first by the characters and the performances. Now it's one of my favorite movies.
Richard Pascall I think it's less of a you weren't old enough to understand more you went in with the wrong frame of mind if you go into a movie expecting a gory war movie and get a comedy doesn't matter how good the movie is you will leave disapointed as it wasn't what you wanted to watch at that point in time
@michaelkeha
My point. I went in expecting one thing but got something else. But I see what you're saying.
Dude that scene with Mortensen's Lucifer at the end hissing that "I love you more than Jesus" is just perfectly offputting.
Gabriel, oddly, is depicted in religious texts as near to humans, being an angel that gently brings the souls of decesead to heaven. So his depiction in this movie is somewhat incorrect. I would have preferred Michael or Uriel in his place, seen that they are way more warlike angels than Gabriel.
Jacopo Armini See I don't know if Michael would work as he is basically God's enforcer for lack of a better term and would most likely stay out of these kind of conflicts unless God himself ordered him to attack though in most of these kinds of movies and it is rather odd with this one when Gabriel or Michael goes bad the other one is the one who is the good guy basically that helps to stop the evil one
Christopher Walken also played the angel of death in the film Click
Weird to think they might be in the same universe.
You should review ‘The Dead Zone’ which is one of Walken’s greatest subtle roles
Keep up the good reviews. Sub'ed
God I love this intro, your the man 😂
The dialogue in this movie is the best ever in my opinion. This is one of my favorite movies.
Ok. here's a million dollar question:
Peter Stormare vs Viggo Mortensen. Which is the best Satan?
Oooh now that is the question, And I guess it would be cheating to point out that satan and lucifer are different entities hehe, Hmm personally for me I prefer Peter Stormare, but they're both absolutely great.
I didn't know that. Just did some research and you're absolutely right.
Glad I subscribed :D
@@deusdeaconReviews Lucifer is a being, satan is a discription...means Adversary. so in essence Lucy could be the satan for this story. One reason tribes in the middle eastern area refer to americans and brits as great satan.
Cheers great review mate.
Losing faith by seeing too much can be just as critical as losing faith from not seeing enough, because you become can become mired in terrifying images and ideas, with no understanding of the context or meaning, making you lose your ability to see the love and hope in the world, worlds to come, or even in God's view of humanity (and you). It's interesting that you want to look at it without religious context but ask questions like this.
Found this gem for 50p in the local CeX. Finally gonna get the chance to watch it after seeing this review - Christopher Walken seems like an unbelievable badass and I think that's a bargain for just 50p.
Gabriel setting the body of Uziel on Fire...epic scene
i think when Gabriel makes a person immortal he makes it so that they have to be killed by someone else
I bet Dagget after he died, came back as a beaver...an ANGRY BEAVER!! *Plays Nickelodeon music
Even in heaven angels carry savage weapons.
epic video
also in regards to the second movie and how Gabriel's sidekick shot herself
I assume when he grants them immortality he negates them from killing themselves but he cant stop others from killing them that is my theory
7:05 i see your Christopher warken and raise you a Viggo Mortensen as Lucifer.
I appreciate your ability to look at horror movies on a cerebral level, rather than a visceral one. I look at horror movies on a visceral level. I imagine that shit happening to me. Horror movies with a religious undertone scare me even more. I was raised catholic, and believe in heaven and God, and hell, and all that stuff. So I appreciate someone who can deal with it as what it is. Great work. Thanks. I'm going to watch your video on The Prophesy 2.
Haha Gabriel is basically Frieza!
The angel of death was not Gabriel, it was Azriel.
Gabriel was gods messenger.
angel = messenger
Bobbert Bobby Now my knowledge of the bible isn't what it used to be but isn't Gabriel and Michael God's two generals and leaders of the armies of heaven
Bobbert Bobby true Gabriel to my knowledge in the Bible is never referred to as the angel of Death, Depending on your Faith That angel actually goes unnamed unless he is also the Horsemen thereby making his name Death.
where did you see him referred to as Azriel? It’s something that’s interested me for a while and sources vary. I’d like your opinion if you’d give it.
I saw this in the theater but don’t remember a thing about it. May have to check it out again.
ERIC STOLTZ the first MORTY , er , I mean MARTY MCFLY.
To me it's one of the best franchises I have seen.
Not perfect no.
But only 1-3..
i always imagined that alley scene to be the guy wanting to stop cuz her was oparking his car but accidentally pressed the speed pedal
So if that is what happened the guy would've picked the wrong pedal (as a driver myself I can tell you thats very unlikely) and instead of stopping pressing that wrong pedal, They just commit to their mistake and face plant a wall, cause a car doesn't just start at 40-50mph it takes some time.
I know its unlikely (I myself have to wait a year befire getting my licence still 17)I just think about that from a comedic point of view
Nice window shades man! 👍🤣
Simon is the heroin dealer from Pulp Fiction
Eric stoltz legend
Hi. Just wanted to say I'm really liking your reviews. Also I was wondering if you've thought about doing any Steven king movies.
I would love to see you review one of my favorite writer H.G Wells. Or Alexandre Dumas. Love your reviews.
Such an underrated film. Christopher Walken was the stand-out obviously but everyone else did their parts very well. Viggo Mortensen is in my top five movie Devil list, joining Peter Stormare (Constantine), Al Pacino (Devil's Advocate), Robert De Niro (Angel Heart), and Peter Cook (Bedazzled from 1967). It's an intriguing original film that was sadly forgotten and riddled with terrible sequels.
Only bad performance by Christopher Walken was in Peter Pan.
this movie is one of my favorites. Though I do have the same stigma about religions. I look at it as a mythology akin to greek, roman, pagan....
Great movie. I haven't seen it since I was about 18 though. Chimney Rock actually does exist, but its in the South Carolina/North Carolina area.
He's also a hermaphrodite (Oohh)
Hey man, have you ever done a review on the Sin Eater??
I was kinda shocked when it was the devil that showed up to help them I figured they would have gone with Michael as often with these movies with angels when Gabriel or Michael are the villian the other is one of the good guys now I haven't watched this movie in a long time but I don't recall them mentioning Michael at all.
Michael is in the sequel.
You're war is pride and that's mine.
im glad i watched this first since ive never seen these movies.
I liked this movie when I saw it on VHS in college. I haven't thought about it in ages, so thanks to Deusdaecon for reviewing it.
I think the reason why the movie has 3 Pulp Fiction actors is due to the Miramax/Weinstein connection that the actors have. It was filmed around the same time as Pulp Fiction, but released later due to the Weinstein's ambivalence about it.
Deusdaecon "Not sure if I should be watching this now or submitting it as evidence." Hahahahahaha!
Azrael is the angel of death from the bible, so i don't know why they use Gabriel, as Gabriel is most notably for being the one that carries the prophecy, not who enacts it.
I think it's better to view this as a film. I'm Christian and I don't have a problem with that.
According to the bible Gabriel has an affinity with children
Wait. Does this mean this is the Click universe?
If it does Gabriel has really mellowed out since the first film
I have to say that I think Gabriel's horn, which of course when you put it in those specific terms has a very specific context, but I can't remember what it is because I am NOT super religious... But I think it's the Horn of Jericho
+Starr Clarke yes you are correct, its the horn gabriel sounds on judgement day.
+deusdeacon I was looking it up when you replied, and apparently it's also a pre calculus mathematical term
Yepp, Also the trumpet of jericho was a world war 2 german scare tactic it caused a high pitch screach when their planes dive bombed.
18:57 And I just noticed the Sazabi and Sinanju you have on your desk.
hi,
great work you are doing. did YT remove you Prophecy 2 review?
no its still here and as far i can tell the prophecy playlist is all present and correct
9:55 Ah yes, God bestowed Gabriel the power to control death....... but only to humans. Uh, wouldn't Gabriel be way more helpful as a medic for the Angels in their war with the fallen?
21:16 maybe he knows it because his soul was inside Simon for a while and they shared memories or whatever you call it
Why does that scale have a smiley face
The myth of the noble savage is the only glaring flaw that is otherwise a quality cinema series.
Well it’d make sense, I mean monkeys existed during the several super floods such as the one that gave us Basilosaurus, the heavy metal death whale. So even Noah could be explained.
if your responding to something im gonna need some context.
@@deusdeaconReviews when you brought up him calling humans monkeys and evolution. I was just making a prehistory pun.
Ah fair enough I get you now
8:45 Maybe this is in the same universe as Steel Ball Run. Can't top Jesus' corpse giving people Stands.
So Angels, who have been around forever, fight like feral cats and haven't been inventing new ways to kill each other beyond trying to rip each other's hearts? Sounds kind of dumb if you ask me. As bad as Legion was, having Gabriel and Michael be experts in every weapon humanity has makes way more sense when you think about it. Also at 6:35 you should have said "if you think getting a new Bible chapter would drive this guy insane, but what baffles me more is that the extra chapter wasn't just the events of Steel Ball Run."
Hurrrr... simon and his particular quest... simon... quest... simon's quest? :3
On the topic of angels... look up Chassan. he's not a nice guy and generally does not like humanity at all
Drinking game: take a shot every time he says "brutal"
InGermany the movies are called gods army for whatever reason
In Poland too ;]
this movie is fucking cool! awesome actors and a great story, angels are badasses! x
Guess angels are Slavs
Gabriel is the angel of war Azrael is the Angel of Death please get your angels right
He explicitly said in the beginning that he was basing off the mythology in the movie. You should pay attention better.
