Cynical bodyguard Jericho is hired by a man possessed by Satan, who is in search of his bride. When Jericho realizes what is happening, he must do everything he can to save the woman and the world.
A near-unanimous critical disaster on release, End of Days was savaged for its derivative plotting, incoherent mythology, and a Schwarzenegger performance critics found unusually flat even by action-movie standards. The handful of mixed notices treated its badness as a perverse selling point rather than a genuine defense.
“idiotic beyond the point of redemption, this sinfully stupid farrago manages to insult audiences and critics, Christians and Satanists alike, reducing 2000 years of fertile mythology to the level of an incoherent pop video”
Mark Kermode·Sight & Sound
“bloodless as a cyborg, and it feels as if it has been assembled according to diagrams supplied by someone who studied every successful sci-fi action thriller and then multiplied the findings by 10”
Eric Harrison·Los Angeles Times
“there are moments in End of Days when Schwarzenegger seems to be gunning for an Oscar”
Mick LaSalle·San Francisco Chronicle
“End of Days involves a head-on collision between the ludicrous and the absurd”
