Editorial Review:
When a turn of the century prison reformatory is slated for demolition, a grisly discovery is made. Hidden deep underground beneath the west cell block is a sub-basement structure that has not been entered in 100 years. Inside are the skeletal remains of several brutally slain children. As a CSI team arrives at the prison, an even more disturbing discovery is made that will eventually unveil a legion of seven demons and their even more chilling origins: each demon is responsible for one of the seven deadly sins. Seven deadly sins...Seven deadly demons...Seven more deadly ways to die..
Fallen Angels Reviews:
Little Horror Treasure 
2009-05-11 - The DVD with great Bonus-Material is cool.
Okay,its a little Flick with a good Story.Its like a Reunion-party with
Horror-Icons like Kane Hodder.
Collectors dig that little Thing.
slick production values, but still a mess 
2008-08-14 - FALLEN ANGELS boasts all the usual modern horror film visuals (i.e. clichés). Quick MTV edits, grim desaturated colors, gore, etc. Even so, the film is a boring mess.
Confused story. I don't think I would have known what was going on, except I'd read the DVD box before hand, and the characters kept filling me in on stuff they'd learned. (And I'd wonder: how did they figure that out? -- it's not in the film.)
Films opens with stereotypical drunken, horny teens. One's killed, another's kidnapped. Then we're at this prison about to be torn down. We find skeletons in the basement. The FBI comes in to investigate. Turns out many skeletons are over 100 years old.
People die. Some from demons, some from a killer. We find more skeletons. Killed by different people.
More people die, seemingly at random. In the end we learn it has something to do with 7 demons in charge of the 7 deadly sins. Yet I can't really figure out which thinly sketched character was supposed to be guilty of which sin.
Also, a mother is seeking her kidnapped daughter. And an FBI agent discusses his early years as a pastor in Mexico. Where some demon-possessed boy was killed by vigilante villagers.
The FBI agent/pastor also converses with a demon. This demon has really cheap makeup, like in a sitcom. He sounds like some whiny character from a Jerry Seinfeld episode.
I won't give a spoiler, but know that the ending is really unexpected, in a weird way. Not entertaining. Not gripping or anything horrific. Just out of the ballpark.
The production values are slick. But the acting is flat, and the writing is awful.
The best 7 deadly sins film is THE DEVIL WALKS AT MIDNIGHT, aka THE DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE. An early 1970s Euro-horror film.
Movie Review 
2008-01-29 - This movie went from discovering skeletons in an underground "dungeon" to searching for a missing person.
Disappointing Excuse For A Film 
2007-12-31 - At the beginning, Fallen Angels seemed almost like a dream. Everything that was happening was very dreamy and very confusing. Although it was confusing, when the first few deaths came around, the first thing that popped into my head was, "Wow! This movie is going to be great!" But, after the death when the demon split the detective's mouth open, and then ripped out his teeth, the movie deteriorated.
It began just a blur of confusion and deaths that were far from original. There was only one death preceding this point that actually made me say "Wow!", and that was when another detective got his eyes popped by one of the demons.
Overall, I was disappointed with Fallen Angels, mainly because it had so much promise in the beginning, and then just went cheesy afterwards, and it was very upsetting as a viewer. Rent first before buying this movie.
A Great Movie With Something Amazing About It 
2007-11-25 - I would have to say that I was rather shocked by this movie. I would have expected the usual indie sort of thing, monsters running about (check), frantic people in search of answers while going into the places you really shouldn't go (check), theological meaning and an almost Christian ending (whoooahh?....) Yes, this had what I would have to say a very spiritual, rather almost Christian, ending. While there were many wonderful, sort of I would guess, scenes of violence and monsters attacking (which turned out to be a fog of a situation as you find out in the ending), the culmination and the declaration of the ending of the movie was...what I would have to call...a very Christian point of view toward spiritual warfare and spiritual (very close to Christian) sense of revelation and hope and meaning. Fantastic! I would have to say. This was a great movie because, while I wouldn't call it Christian on the same level as the Left Behind movies (which sort of thrust religion and Scriptures down the viewers throats at times), the conclusion was indeed a monumental one. This might be something of a problem for some people, but again, listen carefully and watch carefully. Yes it was Christian, but it wasn't preachy. A great movie. Watch it!
