Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a horror film: "Fallen"
Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins with a man's voice-over, sharing his story of when he almost died
Then a man is shown crawling onto the snow, like he is trying to get away from something or someone
He is desperately trying his best, despite his vision going in circles
Moments later, his body falls to the ground
The scene then switches to a detective with the Philadelphia Police Force,
visiting the city's notorious serial killer
A police officer calls the Detective to the Serial Killer's cell,
who is in high spirits, despite being on death row
The Serial Killer informs the Detective that there will be a documentary about him
The Detective and the Serial Killer face each other,
and the Serial Killer aggressively puts his hand in between the bars
The Detective shakes his hand for a second,
and the Serial Killer starts to mumble something in an unknown language,
so the Detective quickly frees himself from the grip
The Detective decides to leave,
but he is weirded out when the Serial Killer gives him a riddle before leaving the cell
Following that, the Serial Killer taunts the onlookers of his execution,
and later on sings, "Time Is On My Side," written by the Rolling Stones
He sings like a mad man, and smokes come out from the chamber
Not long after, the Serial Killer meets his death
Subsequently, the Detective meets his partner in the field, and another colleague at a bar
While drunk, the colleague picks on the Detective, and insults his profession;
but the Detective handles it well, and calmly defends himself and the other cops
At the same time that night, a weird thing happens at one of the busy streets of Philadelphia
A man whistling the "Time Is On My Side", bumps into another person,
who then looks like he has been possessed
Then, it passes from person to person through touch,
and the passing of the possession ends in a man nicknamed the Bedeviled Guy
he spends his afternoon like a regular man, despite killing an innocent man
Following that, the Bedeviled Guy observes the Detective from afar, as the Detective gets to work
The Detective receives a tip for a possible murder from a tipster at the precinct
Later that day, the Detective, together with his partner and some examiners,
goes to the address to investigate
It turns out it is the apartment of the Bedeviled Guy's victim
While analyzing the crime scene, they find puncture wounds,
and a number 18 on the dead body, with a neat dining table,
and letters on the wall, akin to the Serial Killer's riddle
The Detective looks at it, astonished by the weird coincidence
The Detective reports his assumption to The Lieutenant,
and he says that The Serial Killer might have an accomplice
After that, the detective and his partner discuss the case
Unexpectedly, their colleague gives them a clue about the riddle
The Detective gets into work right away,
and finds out about a decorated detective in 1965, who died in a gun accident
The next day, The Detective informs the Lieutenant about his investigation
Still, the Lieutenant refuses to help, and advises him to keep whatever he finds out to himself
Following that, while they watch the Serial Killer's documentary,
the Detective's partner points out the unknown language that the serial killer is speaking;
and he says it is significant
Later that day, the Detective tracks down the decorated detective's daughter, short-named The Lady,
and the Detective informs her about his investigation
The Detective mentions the Serial Killer;
and The Lady brings up the singing and grabbing incident before the execution
However confused, the Detective dismisses it
The Lady then shares that her father killed himself in their family cabin in the mountains,
after being accused of a series of murders identical to the Detective's current case
She refuses to believe that her father is a murderer;
but somehow, The Lady objects to share why she thinks so
That evening, the Detective coincidentally encounters the Bedeviled Guy while walking on the streets
Following that, the Bedeviled Guy bumps into a stout man on the train,
passing the possession to him
Later that night, the Detective receives two prank calls from someone,
while he is at his house with his brother and nephew
Meanwhile, the Bedeviled Guy is confused, because he does not remember what happened to him
Then, the Stout Man barges into his home, and repeatedly stabs him with a syringe
After killing him, the Stout Man calls the Detective a couple of times,
still not making a sound, and leaves
Following that, the Detective and his partner reach out for a Linguist
to decipher the Serial Killer's words
He informs them that the language is an antique, a Biblical tongue called Syrian Aramaic
A language that regular people have not spoken for a long time
The Linguist then requests a copy of the documentary to translate
After that, another tip from the tipster causes the police force to investigate another death
It is the apartment and the body of the Bedeviled Guy
Like the first case, the body has the number 2 written on his chest
There is also a neat dining table, writings on the wall, and a syringe with poison
The following day,
the Detective's partner informs him of the connection of the Bedeviled Guy in their case
After that, he visits the cabin in the mountains, which the Lady talks about
Despite being abandoned, the Detective proceeds to search the cot, reaching the basement
There, he finds various unsettling books about demonic possession hidden under the woods,
and the word 'Azazel' written on a wall
Subsequently, he goes to The Lady, asks about the writing,
and a book that talks about demons who can move by touch
She then strongly advises him to drop the case for the sake of his life and his loved ones,
leaving the Detective more intrigued
Back at the precinct, the Lieutenant informs the Detective that before the death of the two guys,
their last phone calls were at his house
The Lieutenant clarifies that he does not suspect the Detective of anything,
and is just following his superiors' orders
After that, his partner gives him the translation of the Syrian Aramaic from the Linguist,
which contains some disturbing threats
The Detective continues his investigation, by watching the tape and reading the bible
At the same time, when in the precinct,
the Detective witnesses what he read about demons moving by touch,
From his colleagues to ordinary people, while singing 'Time Is On My Side';
and they have no recollection of what just happened, when they bump into another person
When the Detective talks in Syrian,
he catches an elderly couple's attention who are currently possessed,
proving that he is facing the demon Azazel, who transfers through touch from one human to another
Azazel threatens him to be careful about what he discovered at the cabin
Later that day, the Detective meets The Lady outside a sanctuary,
to talk about his encounter with Azazel
Freaked out, he demands her to answer why the Serial Killer and Azazel threatened him
She then explains that Azazel is one of the fallen angels,
and was punished by being deprived of angel form,
and only able to survive in the bodies of mortal humans
She further explains why the Serial Killer spoke in an almost forgotten language
during their conversation,
and why he grabbed his hand, because Azazel wanted to possess him
However, Azazel failed to dominate him that time, so he will find some other way
The Lady believes that few people are destined to defeat the fallen angels,
and the Detective is one of them
Because of the information she shared,
the Detective realizes that she has been preparing to conquer evil
The Lady then bids goodbye and leaves
However, They are unaware that Azazel is watching them
Subsequently, Azazel follows The Lady on the busy streets, who is now aware of his presence
He then corners the terrified Lady, and tries to bewitch her;
but the human bumps into another person, freeing her
The Lady quickly runs to escape,
while Azazel immediately transfers himself into the people's bodies, running after her
Luckily, the petrified Lady escapes the sadistic Azazel before he possesses her
Following that, The Lady and the Detective meet in a church,
where she regretfully shares that she should not have run away from Azazel,
because she spent years preparing to defeat demons like him
The Detective then decides not to see her anymore because of the danger
Afterward, the Detective gets back at the precinct,
where the Lieutenant raises the superior's suspicion again,
because they found the Detective's prints in one of the crime scenes
Persistent that he is innocent, The Detective assumes he is being framed up,
just like what happened to the decorated Detective
However, the Lieutenant refuses to hear his side,
and advises him to take the day off and spend his day with family
His nephew and playmate greet the Detective, as he comes home that afternoon
While inside, he notices a huge black eye on his brother's face,
so his brother had no choice but to confess that his son had hit him
His brother defends his son, and says it was only an accident;
but the Detective realizes that Azazel possessed his nephew and harmed his family
He quickly gets his nephew back to his usual self, and is confused by his uncle
The Detective goes out and chases his nephew's playmate out in the street,
while the playmate is possessed by Azazel
The kid bumps into a middle-aged man, who gets a gun from a car, and fires it towards the Detective
The man then taunts the Detective by refusing to put the gun down,
forcing him to shoot in front of bystanders
Azazel leaves the body, and transfers into one of the bystanders,
and confidently confronts the Detective that once his host is dead,
he will transfer as a spirit, and no man can resist him after that
Fed up, the Detective asks why not kill him,
but Azazel teases him that he is still having fun and leaves
That evening, the onlookers and investigators examine the crime scene,
getting a statement from witnesses
Then, the Lieutenant confronts the Detective,
and says that the detective's fingerprints are found in one of the murder scenes and the recent killing
therefore, the Detective has become the suspect of all three murders
The Detective defends himself, and his partner backs him up
They see a three-letter word on the dead man's chest, saying 'APO,'
and The Detective thinks it is a message; but the Lieutenant refuses to listen
At the precinct, The Detective asks his partner a series of moral questions,
about a person's true purpose in life
His partner replies that it differs from person to person,
and when the moment comes that a person realizes their cause in life, they will know what to do next
After a long and exhausting day, the Detective comes home to his brother and nephew
He calls The Lady, and asks for clarifications about Azazel
According to one of her father's books,
demons can travel for five hundred air miles with just one breath;
and after that, they will die if they can't find any host
The following day, the Detective notices something in the house,
another three-letter word on the mirror, 'CAL'
He realizes that Azazel was in their home last night,
so he checks his nephew, who has the letter 'Y' on his chest
The Detective then goes to his brother, who has been dead for hours because of poison,
looking asleep with a three-letter word "PSE" on his chest
The Detective silently mourns his death, when he sees the news about the recent shooting
Azazel gives a false statement to the media in a human body,
claiming that the Detective was the one who shot his gun first
His partner calls him to inform him that one of their colleagues will come to the house,
and take him to the precinct to talk about the case
The Detective quickly bags a few belongings and flees with his nephew,
while Azazel smirks at him as he runs
After running away from the Philadelphia police,
The Detective then confesses to his nephew that his father is not asleep but dead
The kid handles the news unexpectedly well for his age,
with his uncle reassuring him that his father will definitely go to heaven
Following that, having nowhere else to go, they go to the Lady's place
There, the Detective spends hours studying Azazel's clue in the Bible,
the Revelation or Apocalypse 18:2
The Lady then informs him that when Azazel is in a spirit,
he is much stronger because he is fighting for his life
Afterward, the Detective bids goodbye to the two,
and leaves with a heavy heart yet ready to face Azazel
On his way to the cabin, The Detective calls his partner to have a little talk,
aware that the police are listening
He patiently waits for hours for Azazel to arrive, but his partner and Lieutenant appear instead
The Lieutenant fiercely enforces the arrest of the Detective,
but his partner is weak-willed because of the years they spent together as partners
The Detective puts his gun down; and just seconds later,
his partner shoots the Lieutenant right on the head, killing him
Shocked, the Detective realizes that Azazel has possessed his partner, so he quickly hides inside
Azazel sings the song, taunting him, while the Detective hides in the cabin
Azazel prepares to shoot the current host's body to allow him to possess the Detective
But the Detective comes out and wrestles for the gun
As they brawl, sudden gunshot echoes in the place, revealing his partner with a gunshot wound
However, Azazel continues to taunt the Detective, thinking he will win the fast and furious fight
However, the Detective then reveals all is according to his plan, to defeat evil
He smokes a cigarette,
and explains the cigarette is laced with the same poison Azazel used to kill the innocent,
particularly his brother
the Detective then taunts Azazel, who realizes that with the Detective dying,
he will be stranded in the wilderness without a host
The Detective then fires his gun, aimed at his partner's head,
killing him and attempting to leave the devil with no human host
As expected, Azazel transfers to the Detective's body,
and desperately tries to save himself, but ends up failing as the body succumbs to the deadly poison
however, the film ends with Azazel's mockery voice-over,
reminding the audience that he almost died in the beginning
At the same time, a cat comes out from beneath the cabin, then heads back to civilization
Apparently, the cat, able to be used as the host as human body, is possessed by Azazel,
who is ready to spread evil in the world again
