It seems that every thousand years, the Devil shows up, takes a human form, and plans to sire a child at the end of the millennium with a woman born under the religious sign of a passing comet. As such, Christine is unknowingly the chosen one -- based on her birth twenty years earlier during the sighting of that comet -- to be the mother of Satan's child.
With the Vatican and a local priest, Father Kovak (ROD STEIGER), announcing that they must save the woman's life while various other factions believe she must be killed lest all mankind be wiped out with the pairing, Jericho tries to save her while figuring out what's really occurring. He must then also contend with the Devil in his human form (GABRIEL BYRNE) who will do anything to find and then impregnate Christine before the new millennium dawns and thus insure the "end of days."
Profanity is also extreme, due to at least 20 uses of the "f" word, while other profanities and colorful phrases also occur. An imagined sex scene shows a man having sex with a woman while her adult and partially nude daughter pleasures herself, while other sexual material, nudity and some related dialogue are also present. A character is initially suicidal and an alcoholic -- all related to the previous violent deaths of this wife and daughter.
Due to the amount and degree of the material that's included in this film, we suggest that you take a closer look at the more detailed content should you still be concerned about its appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home.
For those concerned with the repetitive flashing of bright lights on the screen, some moments of that occur in this film (at a near strobe-like rate).
