LEGION

For weirdness and creepiness, Legion (2010; R) rates about a 9.9 on my freak-o-meter. When God loses faith in the way mankind is headed, He sends angels to possess and destroy mankind. The birth of one baby is the only thing that stands in the way, so the angels are out to kill the baby.

One angel, using his own free will, decides that what "the Father" wants is not the same as what He really needs, and disobeys. He is cast to earth in human form and without any of his angelic powers, wings, or armor. He begins his quest to save the not-yet-born baby as humans all around become possessed by the angels who have been directed to destroy it. It's pretty apparent none of those humans need diets for quick weight loss any longer, as they concentrate solely on their mission, killing anyone who tries to get in their way.

The location of the pregnant mom and a few other main characters is a diner located in an isolated area. Michael (Paul Bettany) arrives armed to the hilt with all manner of guns and weapons to fight off the possessed people. Gabriel (Kevin Durand) arrives later to fight Michael and finish the mission.

Dennis Quaid also appears in the movie as a cynical, atheistic owner of the diner who is hard to convince that the world as he knows it is coming to an end unless he joins the fight.
