One night, he witnesses Danyael (Dave Buzzotta), a heretic preacher with a storefront church who tells his flock that God doesn't care much for the people who tend the Earth. A blind man (Brad Dourif) who claims to hear the voice of God shoots Danyael several times in the chest. However, several hours after he's pronounced dead, Danyael rises from his slab at the morgue and heads out into the street. Maggie (Kayren Ann Butler), his understandably upset girlfriend, is then approached by Zouhael (Vincent Spano), a fallen angel who needs Danyael for his own evil purposes. It seems that Danyael is half human and half angel, and both Gabriel and Zouhael want his help. A Spirit of genocide and destruction is about to rise on a Native American reservation, and if Gabriel is going to stop it -- or Zouhael is going to bring it forward -- they will need Danyael's guidance. Prophecy 3: The Ascent marked the directorial debut of Patrick Lussier, who has often worked as an editor for horror director Wes Craven. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Not as good as the first but better than the second.

    Christopher Walken could be in a movie about the phone book, and I would watch it. Fortunately, this is a pretty good film.

Walken injects the lumbering final installment of this trilogy with whatever energy he can. Full Review

Exactly what you'd expect from the third installment in this silly horror series. Still, any chance to see Christopher Walken....

    • Gabriel: In the end, there's still the word. Everywhere. In heaven with angels, the Earth and stars; even the darkest part of the human soul. It was there the word burned brightest, and for a moment... I was blinded.
    • Gabriel: What's it like? To wake up.. as dead meat, with the buzzards circling?
    • Danyael: Do I know you?
    • Gabriel: I know you, from.. Before you were born. Both times.
    • Gabriel: You been with a woman, Zophael? It's like dying -- You moan, cry out -- You get to a spot, that has you BEGGING, for release. Once, I was an Angel of Death... now, I die every day... when I have the cash.
