I like stories like this, but it sort of sounds like that crappy Arnie movie, "End of Days"

Same here. I didn't care for "Constantine", "End of Days", or those Kirk Cameron "Left Behind" movies but I like the premise. "The Seventh Sign" had a lot of potential as well. Maybe it's a sign... maybe I need to sit down with a Bible and write out my own interpretation of the Book of Revelation (after all, it was my favorite book while a teenager). I guess we'll see how this goes... I'm curious to see their interpretation of the Four Horsemen.

Actually, I really liked "Constantine". It was well done and Keanu is the man. End of Days, though, was just bad. The Seventh Sign was pretty good for its time.

Once again the wordings sounds strange. It appears as though the movie is about the suspects of his wifes murder being the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse who were on a serial killing spree? If it is more horror based and less supernatural magic spells and pentagrams type action it could work well. I don't think Dennis Quaid is an action star though.

There is so much good myth out there, why beat the bible to death with films like this? Even those of us who do not go to church know about as much about the bible as those who do dress up each sunday.
