But first they must defeat the good angels, who vehemently oppose the plan. To accomplish this, the evil ones choose as their leader a war veteran who has just died.

I like to think that Walken flipped through the script, realized how lame it was, and decided to have some fun anyway.

Paradise Lost reimagined as a droll B horror picture. Walken is terrific, as always, and Viggo Mortensen's cameo is worth the price of admission alone.
