The Fallen Ones (2005)
Another SyFy Channel special I am sure. This one appealed to me since it was about the Nephilim and I was working on some Fallen Angel stuff for Eldritch Witchery. Frankly if anything in this movie makes into something I have written (other than this course) then you know I have used up every idea I ever have or will have.
This movie is terrible. We have the evil Angel Ammon who has decide that the only way for his big dumb son (he is a giant and can't act) to survive the coming flood is to kill him and mummify him. Solid logic there champ. Fast forward 5000 years and he is discovered by an archaeologist and Richie Cunningham's dad (sadly this was one of his last movies ever).
What we have now is part mystery, part giant monster movie and part religious murder/slasher film. The saddest part is there are some actual names attached to this. Not great names by any stretch, but names I usually associate with better movies.
This movie was so bad I am sure I fell asleep a couple of times while it was on. It certainly didn't help or hurt the plot any.
Honestly, I'm pretty sure you could abstain from SciFi channel movies and live a solid productive life. I'm sad that the channel that used to be about cool, forward thinking Science Fiction is now all about cheaply made, straight-to-video trash.
