Storyline

Tom Canboro is a police detective with a Christian sister, Eileen, a brother, Calvin, a wife, Susan, and eccentric brother-in-law, Jason. One night, Jason seemingly goes insane and tries to kill Eileen, calling her a "hater". Tom soon realises this may be a conspiracy going as far as devil worship, but as he speeds in his car to get help, he suddenly looses control and crashes. Waking up in a strange hospital, he finds years have passed and people all over the world are wearing the mark of 666 on their right hands, and all those who don't are being killed off. Franco Macalusso, the believer in world peace Jason was fond of, now controls the world, and is trying to bring the world together as it was at the tower of Babel. Meanwhile, the "Haters" or Christians are hiding out and airing TBN tapes on the air for people to realise the Messiah is really the Antichrist, but their leader, Helen Hannah, is arrested...

User Reviews

actually a review of the sequel JUDGMENT....

I haven't seen the first 3 in the series (Apocalypse, Revelation & Tribulation) but Judgment was on the rack at the store where I work so I bought it out of curiosity & because it was 1/2 price of the TV offer *L*

VERY IMPRESSIVE- Nick Mancuso is back as the AntiChrist, now looking much like Jerry Springer (he changes his look in each film), putting Christian evangelist Helen Hannah on trial for opposing his New World Order & thus disturbing the peace. Her court appointed defense attorney is (Surprise) Corbin Bernsen- who has yet to really choose sides. Before it's over, Helen's not on trial as much as is Corbin, God/Jesus & the AntiChrist himself. A very well thought-out human & philosophical drama that does not rely on special effects or even one buying into the Bible prophecy interpretation to work.
