END OF DAYS is the blood-soaked story of a 20-year-old girl (Robin Tunney) who has nightmares about a mysterious man.

If he manages to impregnate her during these 60 minutes, she will give birth to the anti-Christ, who will put an end to the world forever.

This millennium's-end action movie is a calculated but fairly enjoyable attempt to give Arnold Schwarzenegger a less indestructible, more human side, and cash in on the revitalised horror genre. While Arnie's amateurish emoting never rings true in the role of a run-down, suicidal, alcoholic ex-cop, the Devil searching for his bride story provides some decent popcorn entertainment. Gabriel Byrne, meanwhile, rises above the clumsily structured and wholly derivative script to give an attention-grabbing performance as a very laid-back Prince of Darkness. (The scene in which he seductively bribes Arnold with the chance of a new start is a cracker.) It should have been sharper and scarier, but the final half-hour excitingly delivers the demonic goods.
As pumped-up as its hero, this is a riotous, over-the-top mish-mash of religiosity and shock effects, like The Omen on steroids.
Firstly, let me assure you this is a great film. Its 4/5 stars, just some minor aspects that puts it just out of my 'Classic' 5 star status - only ... more
Enjoyed this as it was different to the usual roles that arnie plays & he did play this well & it was very good. Well worth watching!
