Review: I was waiting for ages for something to happen in this movie, but it was just too slow and the showdown at the end wasn't that great. It was good to see Vinnie Jones playing an emotional character except for a heavy baddie, like most of his movies, but the storyline was pretty weak and the acting from the other characters was poor. The twist at the end came way to late in the film and Christian Slater was only in a couple of scenes, even though he's plastered all of the poster. We have all seen this type of concept before, we're a teenage stranger comes into college and he gets picked on by the popular students, so the storyline wasn't original or even slightly interesting. In all, I wasn't that impressed with this cheaply made movie which didn't have that much thought behind it. Disappointing!Round-Up: Poor Christian Slater! He just seems to be taking in any project that comes his way, and they all seem to be badly made films that go straight to DVD. His career seemed promising after starring in big films like Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves, Interview With A Vampire and True Romance, but his career went on a downhill slump when the work dried up. The same goes for other promising actors like Val Kilmer and Cuba Gooding Jr. who also go straight to DVD, after having box office success earlier on in there careers. Vinnie Jones impressed me in this film because he seemed to be more natural and calm in his role. Its just a shame that the actual movie wasn't that good. I also found his annoying daughter quite irritating, which didn't help because she was the main character, so in all, it's not a movie that I would be watching again in a hurry.Budget: $3million Worldwide Gross: N/AI recommend this movie to people who are into there spooky drama/thrillers, about a teenage boy who has a shady past and gets picked on by the popular students at college. 2/10

"Everything that's been going on around us has all been foretold." After residents of a small town begin to die mysteriously the local cop John Elliott (Jones) is at a loss. When his daughter tells him of an old friend of hers as returned to her school he remembers events of the past. When Father Henry (Slater) shows up and tells Elliott what he thinks is going on he doesn't believe him, but when his daughter becomes a target he is only one who can stop him. If you were to judge this by the cover and cast (like I did originally) you would probably not expect much. Christian Slater has fallen into the Val Kilmer school of acting lately. He does a lot of movies without caring if they are good or not. Vinnie Jones is, well, Vinnie Jones. Armed with those expectations I was looking forward to a long boring movie. While the movie isn't amazing or something I would watch again I have to say that I did end up liking it. The movie is kind of like if Damien went to high school. There are enough horror aspects to appease horror fans and enough drama and intrigue to please non horror fans. This is a B movie and nothing amazing but I expected much worse. I do have to say that this is Slater's best movie in a while. Overall, it's not one of the best movies I have seen in a while but it was entertaining and I wasn't bored. I give this a B.

'Way of the Wicked' has an idea but sadly it's been seen before several times. A priest aims to convince a cop who is also a desperate father that the young lad hanging around his daughter, is someone sinister. There are some interesting scenes but throughout the movie, there is a feeling like we have seen it all before. The element of surprise remains missing through most of it. Despite having a tried and tested formula, it seemed the director failed to try more with the plot or even add some engaging sub plots. However I was impressed with the cast who did their best with what they had which was sadly an average storyline. I still do recommend it as decent late night entertainment, especially for people who enjoy 'Omen-esque' films and like a decent climax!

Christian Slater and Vinnie Jones play the Priest, and the Cop dealing with what they grow more an more certain is the rise of the Anti-Christ. That is the sexy line, but sadly the movie does not live up to the idea, mostly because the writing is just so completely messed up. The reveal is not in any way surprising, and the lead up is just so much filler. Slater is a Priest who really just seems creepy, always hanging out in the bushes, and who somehow never really sees anything happen to anyone, and still jumps to the conclusion that he has all the answers in his books. Mr. Jones is a Detective (When did all these ex-military fellas from the UK move to North America to work as cops in small towns?) who is completely out of the loop, and for some reason never really has to work unless it is at some inopportune moment, he is accused of being a drunk, but you hardly see him with a drink anywhere near him. The saintly Daughter is one of the worst problems though as first those are not the eyes of a 17 year old, sorry they just can't be, and her relationships with the other characters all seem fake. There is no point at which you believe that she has any true feelings for either of the guys fighting for her. (This could be written off as a deeper clue to the ending, but even that would be flawed) The stone angel never breaks, so what does that mean? Who is the second angel then? I could not find anything in this movie to Enjoy, and these are usually two top actors who you can count on even in a low budget mess to stand above it with their own personal talents, and I can not recommend this movie even to fans of dark magic with brooding teens as it is just not good enough. However there was a good effort put up by all the players, and the production is not some cramped studio, you have nice outdoor scenes that are shot quite well. Just a real slog getting past the story to see the beauty framing it.
