To search for her father (Ron Perlman), Doc Cordell (Valerie Cruz) has
hired a group of ragtag mercenaries led by Mack (Cuba Gooding jr) to take
her to an underground excavation site in the middle of the desert. Once
down in the caves, the whole team soon runs into zombiefied priests, all
kinds of hallucinations, a fallen angel frozen into a block of ice (!) and
a lot of unanswered questions. They also bump into a not-zombified but
pretty mad priest (Henry Rollins), and of course the soldiers drop like
flies, until only Cordell and Mack are left alive ... and now they face
Cordell's dad, who's obviously possessed by the devil, but the devil needs
a new host body to walk the earth. Cordell knows what she has to do to
save daddy's soul, even if it costs her own life, and then Mack blows the
whole site to kingdom come ... but has find a new meaning of life as a
soldier against other fallen angels ... A pretty bad movie that
clumsily mixes horror with motives of mercenary cinema, but without ever
creating either tension and atmosphere or at least interesting
action scenes, with some ridiculous biblical references tagged on. What remains is a soulless by-the-numbers yet confusingly written genre exercise
that even the relatively stellar cast isn't able to save.
