1999
proved a banner year for screen portrayals of Satan's love life: first his
relationship with Saddam Hussein went under the microscope in South Park:
Bigger, Longer and Uncut, and a few months later his search for a girl to
settle down with became the basis of this thriller. With the millennium
approaching, a series of disturbing signs suggests that Satan (here played
by Gabriel Byrne) has returned to Earth and is walking the streets of New
York City. It seems that Satan needs to find a woman who will bear his
child, as the time for the arrival of the anti-Christ draws near. A woman
named Christine (Robin Tunney) believes that she has seen the Devil and felt
his presence, and it's up to Jericho Cane (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a former
policeman turned elite bodyguard, to keep her safe from The Dark Lord. End
of Days was both directed and photographed by Peter Hyams; Kevin Pollak,
Renee Olstead, and Udo Kier are among the supporting cast. |
