    The idea that the anti-christ would undergo satanic counterparts to baptism, crucifixion, resurrection, etc was interesting. This hasn't been explored in other films and that's why this one deserves to be seen. Alice Krige owns the knowledge of acting how make fans fear or suspec... read moret her in the movies. lol

    Someone needs to seriously rewrite the "movie info" that appears above. It is certainly no documentary, just another cliched film about a virginal woman who gives birth to the antichrist. This one though, isn't terrible, and wasn't a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon too hot ... read moreto be outside. The characters remain one-dimensional pretty much the entire way through, but there were enough unexpected plot turns to keep my attention, save for one, over which the casting director should have been fired. (SPOILER) What husband in his right mind would trade the beautiful mid-thirties Laura Harris, for Alice Krige, now pushing sixty, and quite frankly, looking every bit? Alice Krige is no longer the young, late-twenties sexpot of the early 1980s "Ghost Story," in this film. For me, believability went out the window with that plot twist. I wouldn't exert any effort to see this movie, but if you happen to catch it while channel surfing like I did, as I said above, it's not all bad.
