End of Days (1999)

On the eve of the year 2000, the Devil would impregnate a certain woman. A certain religious organization plans to kill her, and thus prevent that event to happen. A private security guard gets mixed up in this affair and tries to save the girl from being killed and also from what he thinks is a bad sexual encounter.

A totally silly premise made into a hopelessly vacuous yet not badly directed film. It may be thought of as a demonstration piece for the case that the horror and action genres don't mix well, the latter being heavily reliant on rules (physical ones, mostly) and the former being based on situations where one or more rules cease to prevail.

Rating: 22
