When some angry angels, including Gabriel, become jealous of God's love and affection for humans, they decide to band together and declare war on mankind. 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. But to thwart their belligerent counterparts, the peace-loving cherubs grab the soldier's soul, and conceal it in the body of a young girl.

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

Angels battling on earth, a hammy Walken; church is more interesting.

It looked a lot fresher when it was new, but it's still intriguing.

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.
