I love this movie! While I never really find movies horrifying this one was just brilliantly done. Of course Christopher Walken being one of my favorite all time actors playing the role of Gabriel the ArchAngel makes the film that much more gratifying. The film is about an Angel named Simon that retrieves a soul from a man that is so cruel that both the angels and satan are trying to claim the soul so that they can finally tip the balance of life away from humanity and finish the Angelic war that began in heaven centuries ago.
Simon knowing that he will be hunted for the soul hides it inside the body of a little girl named Mary. Gabriel will stop at nothing to get the soul, and after killing Simon to find the location, he finds that he now has a detective named Thomas Daggett looking into the death, and now following him, until he finds Mary and does everything he can to save her.
The film is just incredible! The cast is unbelievable, and it was a great start to the career of people like Viggo Mortensen who starred as the most evil Satan I have seen on screen. This was the start of one of the best trilogies ever made!
