Supernatural mystery with an excellent Demi Moore performance, 25 January 2007
6/10
Author: ma-cortes

The picture concerns about a pregnant woman(an actually pregnant Demi Moore)living with his husband(Michael Biehn).She realizes which the strange boarder(Jurgen Prochnow) in her home and the fantastic goings-on that are happening are united to the ¨book of Revelation¨ and a prophecies connected to her unborn son.She get drawn into a web of mysterious events.Nowadays she only can stop the destruction of the world like is said in the commentaries of the Apocalypse of Saint John.Around the world emerge various signs from Biblic omens.A Vatican emissary priest(Peter Friedman)is dedicated to investigate the bizarre deeds .

It's a spiritual triller skillfully narrated with little action but quite entertaining.Strikingly designed with little exterior scenarios exception of the freeze village and African outdoors.This polished film provides chills,thrills in lively mystery.Rich and dark though sometimes confused.The film belongs to supernatural prophecies sub-genre(along with : The omen,The Body).Esoteric music and excessive use synthesizer by Jack Nitzsche(Starman,Jewel of Nile,Razor's edge).Colorful cinematography with shades and lights by Spanish Juan Ruiz Anchia(Close range,House of game,River runs black).The motion picture is well directed by Carl Schulz(usual television picture director).It's one of the most of the most unusual supernatural movie from the 80s and certainly one of the most unsettling.
