This special limited edition 4-disc 4K UHD/Blu-ray set comes with a spot gloss magnetic diagonal box + slipcover combo (designed by Robert Sammelin) and is limited to 10,000units. It is only available on our website and at select indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them.
One of the bloodiest and most creative, late 20th century horror franchises, THE PROPHECY TRILOGY, all of which star Oscar® winner Christopher Walken as the evil angel Gabriel, broke new ground in 1990s horror with their high concept narratives and gruesome practical effects. Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present the 4K UHD debuts of THE PROPHECY 1-3, or the “Gabriel” trilogy, all newly and exclusively restored and featuring an extensive array of new and archival bonus materials.
In Gregory Widen’s acclaimed directorial debut, THE PROPHECY (1994), Elias Koteas (Crash) stars as Thomas Dagget, a former seminary student who has turned his back on religion, instead becoming a homicide detective. Thomas’ latest case, of a strangely deformed and mutilated corpse, pushes him into the middle of a bloody battle between Simon (Eric Stoltz), an angel of good, and Gabriel (Christopher Walken), an angel of evil, each of whom are attempting to gather souls and build an army in order to prevent - or bring about - the apocalypse.
In director Greg Spence’s gruesome follow-up, THE PROPHECY II (1998), dark angel Gabriel, vengeful over his failure to bring about the end times, returns to earth intent on spreading violence and destruction, but soon sets his sights on Valarie Rosales (Jennifer Beals), a nurse who, unbeknownst to her, is pregnant with an angel. If Gabriel is able to kill both her and her child, he will hold sufficient evil power to finish his war in heaven.
Finally, in director Patrick Lussier’s closing entry in the trilogy, THE PROPHECY 3: THE ASCENT (2000), the now human Gabriel is faced with an unlikely challenge - to assist Danyael, a resurrected half angel/half human in stopping the evil angel sent to kill him, and to help Danyael prevent Heaven's war and stop the coming of a second genocidal God - Pyriel.

Reviews
Bad Movies in a Great Set
"(Review of the first Prophecy film) 2. 5 stars. I once heard The Prophecy described as Christopher Walken’s only movie series, and he’s great in this as the angel, Gabriel. The way he often sits around perched like a bird is a unique creative choice that I kinda love. Unfortunately, though, the story just isn’t that great, and the scenes without Walken or Eric Stoltz are much weaker than when they’re in them. As for the box set itself - it’s great. Awesome packaging, with a ton of interesting special features. It’s one of those cases where the bonus features make it worth it, rather than the films themselves."
— Lucas B. (4/5)
Prophecy - VS 3-Pack
"Very excited to dig into these further, I have only seen the first Prophecy movie but I loved it. The packaging looks gorgeous and it really pops on my shelf"
— Colin M. (5/5)
God's war in three parts
"Prophecy 3 box set comes in a fantastic container and the films inside are of great quality. I love the prophecy part two for Brittany Murphy just as much as I love part one. Christopher Walken is amazing in them. The scripts feature interesting religious ideology. Shipping was fast."
— Ryan S. (5/5)

Awesome packaging and Movies!!
"This is a must have edition for all fans of physical media and of course Christopher Walken's over the top and charming acting. Obviously, the first one is the best movie, but the other two are pretty cool too. The extras are, once again, marvelous. Get one for you too!!!"
— GILBERTO C. (5/5)

Prophecy 1-2-3
"This is a collector's must have. I only wish it would have been the entire series. Now, I have to wait for part 3 & 4."
— Adrian T. (5/5)
I only enjoyed the first film, but still a great trilogy set to own
"This trilogy looks great in 4K. Christopher Walken’s eerie performance is elevated by the crisp detail, and the HDR brings out a depth in the "angelic" shadows that was missing in previous releases. It loses one star only because the sequels don't quite match the quality of the original film, but as a technical package, it’s top-tier."
— Tommy L. (4/5)
