Deep beneath an Ohio state prison seven demons, each responsible for one of the seven deadly sins, are awakened from their crypt after 100 years by a construction crew set to demolish the prison to build a new shopping center. As a CSI crew arrives to the prison to investigate the crypt all hell breaks loose, literally.
Fallen Angels starts with a really hot chick in bed awaken by a strange sound followed by an even stranger snake demon slithering up her sheet then into her goodie bag, which was pretty damn cool to watch and pretty twisted. Later we end up at the prison where a crew is set to demolish it's walls and build a new Shopping Center, but as they get ready to blow up part of the prison, one of the crewmen discovers a entry way to a crypt full of the bones of several dead children with strange writing on their skulls. A couple of guys are sent to investigate the strange crypt and see what exactly happened 100 years prior to the discovery, but before they know it seven demons are unleashed killing people at random in the form of what sin they represent. Seven demons, seven deadly sins, seven ways to die.
 
Personally I think this movie is pretty damn cool. The cast alone puts chills up my spine. Where else can you see Michael Dorn out of his Lt. Worf Makeup and Bill Moseley playing the good guy? Mix it up with Kane Hodder, Michael Berryman, Reggie Bannister, R.A. Mihailoff, David Hess, the veteran Keven McCarthy and Christopher Knight, AKA Peter Friggin BRADY, all in one movie? The story is pretty solid although it's pretty slow at times and the ending could have been better, but the demons are cool and the kills are great; decapitation, eye gouging and one great scene where one of the demons cuts up a guy's face. And who better to bring the FX of the movie to shine but Bob Keen who's put hand in many classic horror movies that we've all grown to love. This movie is an all around great watch so look for it when it comes to DVD.
Fallen Angels is a great watch for horror fans, especially because the cast includes some of the greatest actors from some of the greatest 80's horror films. Definitely worth watching, although I would have changed the ending around a little.
