THE PROPHECY: FORSAKEN
US, 2005, 75 minutes, Colour.
Kari Wuhrer, Jason Scott Lee, John Light, Jason London, Tony Todd.
Directed by Joel Soisson.
The Prophecy: Forsaken is really an epilogue to The Prophecy: Uprising – and they were made back to back in Bucharest.
The film opens with a brief visual summary of the previous film.
Once again, the Bucharest locations have an advantage, with the heroine, Allison, going back again to the mansion in the previous film. This is a story about Allison who was entrusted with the Lexicon in the previous film.
This time she is being pursued by an incarnate angel from the Thrones, Stark, played by Tony Todd who has appeared in a number of horror films and was the Candyman. He is suitably sinister and threatening. He uses an offsider, a hitman played by Jason Scott Lee (who played a priest in the Dracula series). He is commissioned to kill Allison and attempts to kill her several times but is attracted to her and saves her – to the anger of Stark. The hitman, Dylan, shoots himself but Stark revives him to continue on his mission, Dylan bringing Allison to Stark’s presence.
All this is expected material. And then John Reigert, again played by John Light, appears and Allison asks his help since he saved her in the previous film. However, he is not interested, wanting the apocalypse to happen so that he can take people to hell.
Then Simon, voiced by Jason London in previous films, appears, one of the angels of light – and it emerges that Allison has a strong connection to him and her possibility of saving the world.
Once again, the film was written and directed by Joel Soisson. But it plays like an episode rather than a full film. It is simply an epilogue to the previous films and is to be considered as part of The Prophecy: Uprising.
