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.
