Upon the death of a priest, a church worker named Allison (Wuhrer) discovers an old bible known as the Lexicon. An angel named Simon (London) tells her that she is the keeper of it now and the final book Revelations is writing itself. With the very fate of humanity hanging in the balance she teams up with a rough detective (Pertwee) and an Interpol agent (Light) who may be hiding something. Someone is killing angles all over town by ripping their hearts out and the Bucharest location helps with some atmosphere. Directed by Joel Soisson, this Christopher Walken-less fourth film in the franchise is a long way from the original. The cast is good and a few gory moments are sprinkled throughout, but 'Uprising' is just missing something in the entertainment department. The story line and actors should have given this a spark of energy that it just doesn't have. It moves from scene to scene without much life and the move feels dull even though the production values and cast is very good. Maybe it comes from the fact that this series really didn't need to continue.

Like everyone, I couldn't imagine this series without Christopher Walken. I've never been a fan of Kari Wurher, and the only thing that I knew about Sean Pertwee that he is Jon's son.So I got it on a two disc set of all of the Phophecies, so what the heck and SURPIRSE! It was good.Sean Pertwee was great as the police officer who is trying to make up for a terrible deed that he did as a child. Even Kari Wurher was good in this as the troubled person who suddenly had the weight of the world on her shoulders, but it was John Light who really sold me on this. From the start you could see that there was something not right about him. He was cool, yet creepy at the same time. And some of the looks that he gave really sent chills up and down my spine. Him and Sean played well off of each other. Plus, it was nice to see Doug Bradley playing something else besides Pinhead.This movie reminded me a little of The Omen, But for me it is a very deep movie touching base on the idea that it's hard to see true good and evil anymore and how this time Satan has a war in hell because of this.Over all the movie is good, and I don't mean to go on about him but John Light really makes it worth watching. I think this one stands well on it's own without Christopher Walkin. This is the kind of horror movie that I like where it's not about body counts, but the story and characters is what keeps you interested.

I'm sorry fan-boys but the different approach and way of storytelling in this movie works out way better than the mess that the first three movies were.You can see this movie somewhat as a reboot of the The Prophecy movie-series, cause it got made 5 years after the last entry and continues on a different storyline and without Christopher Walken for the first time. It's obviously also a far cheaper movie however and has this typical modern straight-to-video look. Also no coincidence that this movie got set and shot entirely in Romania, a country were a lot of movies get made like this one because it's very cheap to make your movie over there. Not that this is a complaint about the movie really, fore it doesn't interfere with the movie its overall quality.This movie certainly was a lot more pleasant to follow and watch than any of the other previous movies. But yes it's true though that this is because the story is being kept rather simple and perhaps a bit too formulaic as well. It really isn't a too original movie and it borrows a lot from many other popular genre movies.It's really nothing too great all but it's simply a good watch.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

First of all I really enjoyed the first 3 movies, yea it was drug out a long time and all but they were still pretty good. I see why it says that this movie can stand alone because it doesn't even follow the same direction the other movies had. For instance whats this crap that the "angels" have to live in human bodies thats a really big jump from the beginning of the series. It's like a body snatchers movie for crying out loud. But anyway the plot line itself didn't make much sense if you follow the first three. The first three dealt with the war between heaven and fallen "angels" this movie was about a war for a new hell. As a movie by itself it would be alright but it shouldn't be given the privilege of being in the original Prophecy movie series. It should've been given it's own name. Yes I'll probably buy the next one that comes out just to see where it goes and how it ends.
