Cynical bodyguard Jericho is hired by a man possessed by Satan, who is in search of his bride. When Jericho realizes what is happening, he must do everything he can to save the woman and the world.
Why it matters
A late-’90s apocalypse thriller that blends Schwarzenegger’s muscle-bound action with a demonic end-of-millennium showdown.
- Gabriel Byrne channels devilish charisma as Satan incarnate, adding gravitas to the infernal proceedings.
- Practical effects and dark cityscapes evoke a brooding urban gothic vibe, capturing the era’s millennial dread.
- For fans of action-horror hybrids who want their Armageddon served with punchy one-liners and a hint of camp.
- Not subtle, but it’s a time capsule of pre-9/11 paranoia and religious apocalypse fever, with Rod Steiger’s priest grounding the chaos.
