Movie Connections:

Follows The Prophecy (1995)

Let the franchise die

Alison (Kari Wuhrer) is still being chased by the armies of heaven and hell because of the special manuscript she has in her possession. There's also a highly derivative retarded sub-plot revolving around a hit-man and his disgruntled angel employer (Jason Scott Lee and a sadly wasted Tony Todd, respectively). Watching the previous film "The Prophecy: Uprising" is pretty much a prerequisite before you even attempt to watch this one, as it was in all likelihood one film that was splint in two and both halves padded so the viewer wouldn't feel ripped off. Well guess what? you plan failed, guys. And the Prophecy franchise is going down the way of, well pretty much ANY Dimension film property (Hellraiser, Children of the Corn, Dracula, the Crow, Highlander, etcetera...). Saturation ALWAYS gives way to lower profits and a weaker fan-base. Whereas quantity NEVER equates with quality. Such is this case with this travesty, I thought "Prophecy 2" was the worst of the series. I've been proved wrong, I'll admit it.

My Grade: F
