Satan visits New York looking for his new bride! Can a regular cop stop him?
Today we will go through a 1999’s American Supernatural Action Horror movie called “End
Of Days.”
Spoilers ahead! Satan will unleash hell on earth; people will die, some will survive,
some will cut off their tongues. It’ll get weird, we have warned you!

into it.
The movie starts in old times; we’re talking about the late seventies when disco pants
were still popular. In the beginning, we see this handsome old Christian man opening a
chamber of secrets and looking through an ancient scroll. The scroll seems to have a
secret which he hurries to share with his fellow gossipers. We see him run through a
literal palace, but the movie’s budget was a total of $100 M, so it makes sense.
The environment is intense when he shuffles into a room full of Pope look-alikes and the
actual Pope in the middle. The handsome old man tells the Pope that “she” will be
born today. She who? We don’t know yet. The Pope tells the others in Pope language
that the child must be found and killed. Excuse me, sir? I thought we were against sinning?
They vaguely talk about this girl being evil and all. The Pope orders our old man, Tomato-
Tometo- Tomaso, our man Tomaso to find the girl and keep her from “evil.”
Somewhere else in a city, a woman gives birth to a little girl. The doctors lie and say
she is beautiful. She is covered in blood, for god’s sake. The nurse then takes the
infant with her to another floor. For what you ask? To feed her snake blood, I am not
even kidding.
The doctors in the room seem to be a part of a demonic, slash satanic slash extremely
weird cult. We also notice that the girl was born with an arm tattoo. After they are done,
the nurse takes the infant back to her mother.
Unknown to the satanic ritual her daughter has just been a victim of, the mother takes
her child back. She names the baby Christine.
A lot of time passes, and now it is the late nineties, 1999, December 28th, to be exact.
No more disco pants. The world is excited to welcome the coming of the new century.
The conspiracy theorists do what they are best at, spread rumors about the world ending.
We see two construction workers doing their job in the streets of New York when suddenly,
everything goes shakey shakey, and everyone goes, OH MY GOD, IT’S AN EARTHQUAKE.
The workers start to run for their lives when somehow everything starts to explode. From
the flames comes out an invisible something, who I believe... is Satan. He goes into a
fancy restaurant and troubles a man in the restroom. When the man dies, Satan takes over
his body.
So anyways, the now Satan person comes out of the restroom and starts to make out with
a lady. Satanic behavior at its peak. He casually walks out of the place, which explodes into
flames right after. Oohhh, this man is kinda cool.
The scene then cuts to a rusty-looking apartment where a man holds himself at gunpoint. Before
he can pull the trigger, his friend walks in with coffee. Suicide plan postponed for
coffee. The friend pulls the blinds down, and we see the man is Arnold Schwarzenegger.
YAY!! ...Although he was nominated for the Razzie Worst Actor award for this movie, so
let’s keep our expectations low.
Arnold is playing a former police detective Jericho Cane whose daughter and wife were
killed by a contract killer. He is going to provide security for someone from Wall Street.
While at work, he does the normal men in black things, talking in codes through a walkie-talkie.
Wait… who was that?[a]
Anyway, Jericho’s client is SATAN from earlier. He saves his client from being shot by an
assassin but gets shot himself. Of course, he doesn’t die, one, he is Arnold Schwarzenegger,
and two, he has a bulletproof vest on.
He pursues the assassin in a helicopter that he boards while it is still mid-air. Then
he jumps out of the helicopter and hangs with the man mid-air. After some flying bullets
and running through the streets of NYC, Jericho finally catches the man, who seems to be on
the verge of death himself. The man accuses Jericho of setting loose the “dark angel”
or something like that. The old man’s a nut case. Jericho realizes this and shoots
him in the legs.
While searching his body for evidence, he finds an empty wallet: same, old man, same.
Later, a police detective calls Jericho a lunatic for claiming that the old man assassin
talked to him because it turns out he has no tongue.
After a lot of investigating, Jericho and his friend reach an abandoned house-like building
with crosses and other symbols drawn on walls. Jericho finds something inside a jar, which,
surprise surprise, is the man’s tongue. His friend then discovers a picture of a girl,
inside a jar, inside a fridge, weird placement?
The police detectives get there right on time to be suspicious of the two. They inform them
that the assassin was a priest who vanished some months ago.
The scene then changes to a girl traveling on a train and waitttt this man is here too?[b]
The creep from earlier stands in front of the girl and calls her Christine. CHRISTINE?
The snake blood-feeding baby? Man, she has grown up.
As Christine touches the man to get him away from her, he breaks. Yes, his body breaks
into pieces. Christine screams in fear, but everyone is looking at her like she is a maniac.
That’s my biggest fear. Being pursued by Satan? Easy. Public embarrassment? No sir.
Christine then returns back to her mansion. Turns out she is rich. She calls her therapist
to tell him about the events; he asks her to take medicine and sleep. Easy peasy.
While investigating, Jericho goes to the assassin priest’s church, where the other priest
gives him a vague answer about “the 1000 years ending”.
Then we see our Satan visit Christine’s therapist. He has been plotting this for years,
and everyone around Christine is just preserving her for him. Satan goes inside the therapist’s
house, who introduces him to his wife and daughter.
In the following scene, we see them, ummm, sinning, if you know what I mean. Next, he
visits the old assassin priest in the hospital and, well, kills him mercilessly. By mercilessly,
I mean engraving bible verses on his back and then impaling him to the ceiling. The
police find the name Christine York on the assassin's back. Jericho quickly figures out
her address and goes to meet her.
Meanwhile, Christine is at her mansion when she discovers her father died in a bathtub.
Some men enter the house and grab her. One of them, I assume their leader, starts citing
bible verses, indicating they are priests. They are here to kill the girl and end the
evil, the same thing Priests in the movie have been talking about. But our hero is there
just in time.
Jericho gets into a shootout with the priests and saves the girl. He gets a bible-like holy
book from the shelf and matches the priest’s necklace with a picture in it. The bible says
they are the good guys. You know Christine is in trouble when even the good guys want
to kill her.
Outside, our very own Satan kills Jericho’s friend. The explosion alerts the two. Satan
walks inside through the flames, and both Christine and Jericho seem to recognize him.
They run away from the man and meet the police detectives Jericho had been working with.
However, they, too, point their guns at the girl. Everyone is team Satan now?
Jericho has no way out; he kills them and takes Christine to the church. The priest
there finally explains to them what the hell is going on. So the Bible said at the end
of a thousand years, Satan will rise from hell again. He has to bear a child with a
“chosen one.” We all know who that is. So Satan basically has to “sin” with Christine
before the clock hits twelve on New Year’s eve. By doing so, he will unlock the gate
of hell. Jericho thinks this is just a bunch of bull shit. But Christine believes everything.
She wants to stay with the priests at the church. Jericho cannot force her, so he goes
back to his rusty apartment. Guess who is waiting for him there. Yep, Satan. He wants
Jericho on his team because Jericho has “hatred for God”; he despises God for killing his
family.
Satan has an innovative way of trying to convince people. He makes Jericho hallucinate about
his family’s death. He promises to bring them back from the dead if Jericho tells him
where Christine is. But our main boi is stubborn AF. The deal doesn’t seem fair enough to
him, and now Satan is angered.
But at least Jericho believes he is real now. Satan throws Jericho out of the window, but
the main boi saves himself. He even manages to throw Satan out with surprisingly strong
strength. Before Jericho can take a breath of relief, his friend, the one who died earlier,
knocks at his door. They plan to meet outside the Church in an hour.
Back at the Church, one of the Pope look-alike priests comes to meet Christine. Turns out
he is there to kill her rather than meet her. The good priest asks him to stop, but he AGAIN
repeats that the girl must be killed to end the fricking evil. Before he can stab her,
Jericho stops him. Right then, Satan arrives at the Church’s door. All of you are doomed.
Jericho takes the girl and runs away, which he always somehow manages to do. We see Satan
crack the Pope look-alike’s neck; ouch. Jericho makes Christine get into a car with
his friend, who is team Satan.
Jericho is the only one surprised when his friend takes the girl away in the car. Then
a bunch of Satan's followers and Satan himself attack Jericho. Satan wants him to see the
end of the world, so he impales Jericho alive on a building and leaves with Christine.
So how could he have avoided this? Well, first of all, fleeing from the Church was a wise
thing because if they had stayed, they would definitely be killed; he is Satan, for god’s
sake. However, going into a dark alleyway? Bad move. Jericho obviously got to the Church
in a car; they could have taken the same car back. But let’s say he came by taxi, that
way they would have a better chance to run away if they had stayed on the main road and
taken a cab.
The world is getting ready to celebrate the new century. I would like to see their faces
when the world ends.
A random man on the streets saves Jericho and brings him to the church. Our main boy
is saved, yay. If he wasn’t in a secluded alleyway, someone could have found him sooner.
They stitch his wounds and make him good as new. He rushes to the police station and tracks
down Satan’s car. He makes it look easy. Then, he goes to the place where a bunch of
weird Satan followers say things that do not make sense.
Christine is made to lie down in the front as Satan circles her. Jericho takes her hostage
before Satan can say a word. Hell didn’t teach him speed. Jericho’s friend points
a gun at him but gets emotional before shooting. Satan doesn't support that and burns him to
death for disobeying him. Everyone runs away when the place starts to ignite in flames.
They even leave their “lord and savior,” Satan. Survival instinct first, demonic cult
second.
Jericho takes Christine and runs away. They end up on a working railway track, and somehow,
a man stops a freaking train for them. They are still being followed by the crazy demon
followers. Satan stands in front of the running train and is hit.
Some seconds later, his hand emerges from the train’s floor. Did they really think
getting rid of the god of hell would be that easy? Just like that, and the train’s driver
is gone. Jericho then manages to separate the lobbies of the train and shoot Satan,
sending him flying like superman inside another lobby. If you look closely, you can see his
ribs. The entity is busted and broken.
Now, the real Satan comes out of Gabriel’s body. Remember the invisible thingy from the
beginning of the movie? Yes, that.
Jericho and Christine run to a church where he makes her hide. Just then, the church starts
to shake; the benches fly, the statues start to burn, a bunch of crap happens until the
REAL DEAL Satan rises from hell. A badass move. He looks kinda cool, not gonna lie.
He strikes Jericho and somehow enters into him. Just Satan things. Christine runs over
to him, thinking that they have won. But little does she know, Jericho has been possessed
by Satan. She soon realizes when he manhandles her into the nearest table.
Christine yells at Jericho to fight the Satan inside him, and he does. What else did we
expect? He then takes a sword from nearby and stabs himself. Just then, the new millennium
starts. THEY HAVE WON AGAINST SATAN. YAY. He is pulled out of Jericho’s body and sucked
into hell again. Christine sees Jericho’s wife and daughter come to take him maybe to
heaven? We will never know because the movie ends there.
So that is how the movie End of Days goes. Hope you liked the video! Don’t forget to
