Ending Explained: Prince of Darkness

💡 What does the ending really mean?

In the climax, the possessed Kelly breaks through the barricade and drags the heroine into the mirror portal to Hell, but the hero smashes the glass, trapping her on the other side as the Antichrist is born. The final shot reveals the green Satanic liquid slowly reforming inside the church, now watched over by a new, horrified final girl. The ending symbolizes an unwinnable cosmic cycle: evil is not defeated but merely delayed, quantum uncertainty and religious prophecy collapsing into endless recurrence. Humanity’s brief scientific triumph is illusory; the Prince of Darkness always finds a new vessel, leaving only the scream of the next witness.
