I'm a sucker for any movies depicting hell, or related to fallen angels. And the premis of this sounded great, sort of Jurrasic Park meets Rosemary's Baby via The Omen.
A cult steals the Turin Shroud so they can use Jesus' DNA to crate a baby capable of hosting lucifer's ressurection. Cool right?
The production values are actually pretty good for a movie of this type, the special effects are also more than acceptable. But one of the things that disapointed me, and I guess I really shouldn't be surprised was the publicity blurb, which hinted at so much more.
I Think the promo I read was something like, "When a cult steals the Turin Sroud to use Jesus' DNA to ressurect Lucifer, all hell breaks loose. Which it didn't. Not really.
Don't get me wrong, I did actually enjoy this, but it had the feeling of a missed opportunity from a really, really great idea. Some of the actiing and dialogue was also sketchy at times, but if you are in to this sort of "War in Heaven" type movies, worth a look.
