Review of The Prophecy: Uprising

What a rarity this is, a 3rd sequel in a movie franchise, and no turkey yet - and this is especially remarkable for a horror movie series. P4 is as fun as the predecessors, surprisingly enough. The premise of a missing chapter in the Bible that comes right after Revelations is a good one, but even more interesting is the idea of having a fight of the evil vs. evil kind, or in this case Satan vs. a rebel demon who wants to create a "new Hell". It's all a bunch of malarkey, of course, as anything to do with religion is, but it's fun malarkey as is often the case with religious horror. (See "The Exorcist", "Stigmata", "Seventh Sign" etc.) The way Satan is portrayed here could very well be insulting to Christians. But it's also a bit illogical; he is portrayed far too favourably. Also, there is a logic problem in that there is an absence of God in all this. Why didn't God send an angel? "The Prophecy" series was always a bit ambiguous about strict definitions of who is evil/good in the heavens and hell, so the evil vs. evil premise didn't really surprise that much.
