Review – End of Days

I don’t know what happened. I used to really like theology-intensive horror pictures. The Exorcist and The Omen remain two of my favorite movies. Heck, for that matter I used to like Schwarzenegger movies as well. But despite what should have been a good confluence of elements, this one just didn’t work for me. At least part of the problem was the plot. The premise here is that Satan can defeat God and destroy creation if he can manage to have sex with a specific woman between 11:00 and midnight on New Year’s Eve 1999. Honestly, who besides a desperate screenwriter is going to come up with a dumb-ass rule like that? The effects provide an occasional thrill, but other than that there isn’t much here. See if desperate
