The Prophecy: Forsaken

This fifth film in the Prphecy series picks up the tale of the secret battles between hell,heaven,and earth caught between them. Allison (kahri Wuhrer) now possesses the Lexicon. An ancient text that can reveal when the Antichrist will appear. But renegade angels are on the hunt for the book. Her only hope may be a mysterious assassin named Dylan (Jason Scott Lee) Alright you guys get the gist of the story well here is what I thought personally I lost interest in this series after the second film....So...some of you may disagree with me...I felt this film was a bit slow and boring the acting was decent enough although I thought that Kahri Wuhrer's character could have been better written but the story fell flat in many spots...I thought that they didn't give you enough details to make this film interesting...one minute of back story at the beginning just wasn't enough to delve me into this story.. Although I did find the brief explanation on the different ranking of Angels interesting....Tony Todd delivers an excellent performance as an evil Angel bent on stopping Armagedon so that the Angels can be gods favorites. I give this film a sad 2 buckets of gore for the boring story the only thing that justifies this film is its decent acting

In Bucharest, Allison (Kari Wuhrer) is protecting the mysterious bible, "The Prophet Lexicon", where the last chapter about the apocalypse, called Revelations, discloses the name of the Antichrist in its last page. Meanwhile, the evil and jealous leader of the renegade angels Thrones, Stark (Tony Todd), forces the hit-man Dylan (Jason Scott Lee) to kill Allison to get the information about the Antichrist, but Dylan mysteriously feels attracted by the woman, protecting her against the Thrones. Allison seeks John Reigart (John Light) for help, but Satan tell her that he is interested in the apocalypse to gather millions of souls to Hell. Alone and betrayed, Allison discloses the truth about her origins, while protecting the Lexicon.

"The Prophecy: Forsaken" is a reasonable sequel of "The Prophecy: Upraising", but could be better and better. The story gives a perfect sequence to "Upraising", but it is too brief with only 75 minutes running time. There are good ideas that are not well explored or developed, like for example the story of Allison's parents, and indeed I was quite disappointed with the weak and confused conclusion of this good series about the war of angels. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Profecia - Renegados" ("Prophecy - Renegades")

"The Prophecy: Forsaken" is a step down from "Uprising". The problem is that the movie is just too short. There's no reason for this movie to be 75 minutes. It had some good ideas and scenes but it didn't go anywhere. Kari Wuhrer once again plays Allison. She still has to stop renegade angels from getting the "The Lexicon". This book contains the access to destroy the earth. Jason Scott Lee and Tony Todd play characters who try to stop her.

Kari Wuhrer does a decent job as Allison. Jason Scott Lee was OK. Tony Todd was fun, but he goes over the top.

In the end: It could have been way better. It's worth seeing once just to complete the series.

They were made back to back and are basically one story. Just told in two parts. One of the things I like about the post Christopher Walkin Prophecy movies is that they are not a replica of every other Stephen King inspired "Devil in our back yard" movies. I'm not saying that is bad. Its just over done. The antichrist is always in a medium sized American suburb with nice normal middle class parents. Its nice to see a more global perspective. Not everything happens in middle class America. The underlying question of these movies is whether there can be such a thing as blind faith. The devil puts it best by saying you always have to ask why. The movie is cool. It is spooky in a way. But it will not scare you. It isn't trying to. So if you are looking fora horror film this is not for you. I would still suggest you see it, just to realize that the subject of revelations isn't just there to scare us. It can inspire us too.

This film picks up exactly where "Prophecy: Uprising" left off. Given the fact that this film is only 1 hour 15 minutes, I'd be willing to place a bet that this was filmed originally with Uprising as one movie. Anyway, Kari Wuhrer now holds the Lexicon, a book that tells who the anti-Christ is and when the apocalypse will take place. Jason Scott Lee is the righteous cop sent by the seraph Stark (Tony "Candyman" Todd)to kill Wuhrer and retrieve the book. Naturally, he cannot do it and the two try to escape the wrath of Stark and his minions. Jon Light returns as Lucifer, who ironically aids the two heroes in their quest. I thought this film was better than "Uprising," but still not great. Casting Tony Todd was a great choice and I liked Lee's explanation of the celestial hierarchy, but I became ultimately confused with who's good and who's bad. Do you help Stark prevent Armageddon, which will result in humans remaining in wormy earth after they die yet save billions of lives? Do you help Lucifer bring about Armageddon, which will result in good people being reunited with God in Heaven yet end life on this planet as we know it? God seems to want it to happen as does Lucifer. I guess the majority rules. I don't know, you figure it out for yourselves.
