By Fallen TOP 1000 REVIEWER on 17 Sept. 2012
Format: DVD
A splendidly entertaining anti-Christ romp which uses a very good back story of the evils of nuclear energy in this apocalyptic tale. I did have to dust off an old VHS tape to view this again having caught the last 10 mins of it on some satellite channel and am not even sure if it's obtainable anymore, but it's worth a cheap punt just for its 70's setting (largely in London) and a number of bizarre scenes.
Kirk Douglas is an exec of an organisation developing a nuclear reactor in the Middle East before it dawns on him that all the warning signs and symbolic messages he keeps receiving point to his reactor being the thing that will end the world as foretold in the book of Revelations. Oh and that his kid is the anti-Christ.
Cue lots of appropriate deaths, two extraordinary scenes set in a bizarre psychiatric ward seemingly just full of Middle Eastern types, a quite good dream sequence and a rather anti-climatic ending.
Kirk Douglas is pretty good although he looks like he's been assembled from wax. It's a fun watch, sometimes almost like a propaganda video for CND but it reflects more than one of the big fears at the time and if you like 70's film its well worth a look.

Robert Caine is a executive in charge of a building a nuclear power plant in the Middle East. He however faces a lot of problems from the locals and strange events start to put doubts into his head that maybe his latest project could start the apocalypse.

Whenever there was a big box office hit in America the Italians would go onto make their own versions, for example Steven Spielberg's Jaws would be come Great White (1980), First Blood became Thunder Warrior (1983) and Strike Commando (1987) and the Exorcist became The Antichrist (1974). Alberto De Martino's Rain of Fire (Holocaust 2000) however is one of the better cash in's that came out of Italy and it is heavily influenced by Damien: Omen 2.

Kirk Douglas is Robert Caine and gives a strong performance, not the best of his career but impressive none the less. Due to it been a British co-production, Simon Ward is cast as his son Angel, Anthony Quayle is a Prof and for the Italians we Adolfo Celi as a mental asylum doctor and the beautiful Agostina Belli as Douglas's love interest.

Just like in the Omen films anyone who stands in the way of Angel or the building of the nuclear power plant all come to a sticky end, we have a man's head been severed by a helicopter blade, another is drowned by a fast coming tide and Anthony Quayle is killed in a scene that is vertually lifted straight out of the Omen 2. Even though the film may seem like it has no imagination of its own there is some great scenes, one where Kirk Douglas is sent to a mental institute and left trapped in a padded cell as his inmates try to tear him apart.

Alberto De Martino's Anglo-Italian Holocaust 2000 aka Rain of Fire aka The Chosen is another post-Omen ripoff with an ageing Hollywood star jumping on the Satanic conspiracy bandwagon, in this case Kirk Douglas as a powerful industrialist whose plans to build a controversial nuclear power plant in the Holy Land might just trigger the End of Days. Naturally, he doesn't see it that way at first, but even before he dismisses one critic by urging him to "Stop talking like a ridiculous prophet of the Apocalypse! I'm not counting on God. I'm putting my faith in nuclear energy!", you can see where this is heading even if he can't. But a few deaths courtesy of the odd celebrity victim in the supporting cast like Anthony Quayle or Virginia McKenna, one ominous computer printout, a fertile fling with Agostina Belli's photographer and a chance meeting with Romolo Valli's priest later and he's having nightmarish visions of the Apocalypse and, this being the 70s when you had more chance of getting Sylvia Kristel to keep her clothes on in a film than Kirk, we're having nightmarish full-frontal visions of Douglas running naked through the desert as he gradually comes to believe that his proposed seven-towered nuclear plant might just be the seven-head Beast of the Book of Revelations and that his unborn child might just be AntiChrist (a common ailment with ageing movie stars in the 70s) while screaming "We're not seven-headed monsters bringing about the Apocalypse!" at his corporate minions.Read more ›

An excellent copy of a little seen film.
Made back in the seventies it was obviously inspired by "The Omen" starring Gregory Peck.
In this offering we have Kirk Douglas as an industrialist trying to build a controversial power plant in the Middle East.
If the prophecies are to be believed, an accident will occur setting off a chain reaction which will turn the Earth into a ball of fire.
Of course in true form, anyone who gets in the way is killed in a bizarre "accident" as the powers of the Anti Christ become apparent.
A good support cast and decent score by Ennio Morricone make this an enjoyable if not very original horror.
