    • Trivia
      During pre-production, Elias Koteas traveled to Ohio to meet a man who could speak Syrian-Aramaic to help him with his dialogue. The man was happy to help, but wouldn't utter the curse words in the speech for religious reasons. Therefore, the producers had to find another Syrian-Aramaic speaker who was willing to speak the profane lines for Koteas.
    • Goofs
      When Hobbes returns to the wood cabin towards the end of the film, he enters and stands looking around for a moment, with a window to his left. A definite human shadow can be seen walking past the window, despite Hobbes being alone.
    • Quotes

      John Hobbes: C'mon Azazel. Open your eyes

      [sticks a cigarette in his mouth]

      John Hobbes: Look around sometimes.

      [lights his cigarette]

      Azazel: What's this? You don't smoke anymore.

      John Hobbes: You're right I don't. You know why? Because cigarettes kill. Especially cigarettes laced with poison.

      Azazel: Bullshit.

      John Hobbes: The same kind of poisons you used to kill my brother.

      Azazel: Uh, uh, fuck you.

      John Hobbes: Yeah I know. It was so sweet.

      [singing]

      John Hobbes: Time, is on my side. Yes it is.

      Azazel: Fuck you, motherfucker.

      John Hobbes: [picks up his gun] Goodbye, Jonesy.

      [shoots Jonesy, who is possessed by Azazel in the head]

    Spooky!
    The Good:

    • Denzel Washington and John Goodman are as excellent as ever and create a believable on-screen friendship.
    • I really enjoyed the neo-noir style voiceovers that happened throughout the film as well as the noir themed soundtrack.
    • The creepy POV shots helped to elevate the horror aspect of the film.
    • Throughout the movie, the plot was intriguing and had some great tense moments.
    • I loved the idea of possession throughout the film. This created some really interesting dynamics and moral choices for the characters.
    • The final act is absolutely exciting, tense, and thrilling and definitely made this film a lot better.


    The Bad:

    • The first 10 minutes of the film felt very convoluted and confusing to me. It hardly explained itself and left a lot for the viewer to decipher.
    • There were a few awkward character interactions within the first hour of the film that kinda took me out of the film.
    • Although the premise of the film was very intriguing, it didn't really engage me fully until the last 45 minutes.


    Overall Fallen is a very well-made and entertaining 90s thriller with a unique premise and enthralling acting. The only thing that lets it down is its slightly slow pacing and lack of fully engaging scenes in the first half...

    7/10

    FAQ18

    • Are the books Hobbes finds in the basement real books? And are they the same ones shown on screen with the lore?
    • Why didn't Azazel simply escape prison while he was in the body of the serial killer Reese, in prison and awaiting execution?
    • Is Azazel a known demon, or was he invented just for the film?
