Nice jump scares, but way too religious for me. Wish I had read some reviews before watching.
Ok so let’s clear up some confusion. This is movie is about the rapture. The rapture is a biblical event, for those not you who are unfamiliar with the term, so of course this is going to have “God” references, but this is not a Christian movie. Just because a rapper might reference God in a rap song, doesn’t automatically makes him a Christian artist. So that’s how this movies is. They got a concept that originated from the Bible, and they ran with it, because they knew it would be something that they can make a scary movie out of, and to be honest, it’s a fun “B” movie. So I really enjoyed it for what it was.
Synopsis: It's the happiest day of Skylar's (Alexa PenaVega, Spy Kids) life! She and her fiancee are getting married, and they and all their friends and family are beyond happy for them! Unfortunately, the joy soon turns to sadness when, during the reception, wedding guests--including Skylar's parents--and people all over the world inexplicably drop dead. What could be causing this? Skylar, her new husband, and their friends are about to learn a hard lesson about their faith...or lack thereof.
My Review: I haven't done a longer review like this in a while, but, this film is so epic, it deserves it. Before I watched it, I thought: A Christian horror movie? Are you serious? Surprisingly, though, it's done very well, and brings home a chilling message: You never know when the end will come...so, be ready! While I don't agree with the Rapture theology--though it's presented much differently here than in the Left Behind series or any of the Pure Flix films--I have to say that, after watching this, nobody is going to want to be stuck on this Earth after Jesus returns. A gripping story, excellent performances...all in all, outstanding.
Content Concerns: Like with many Christian films of this rating, you should take the "PG-13" seriously; this is definitely not for kids. I also wouldn't suggest watching it before bed, unless you like having nightmares. Seriously, it's that creepy.
I have survived the movie :joy:
The start was like an 8, so I had very high hopes for this movie. It went downhill quickly and the end was just... ugh. I'm really questioning my movie choices lately haha
It starts well, but then they start God took the people and if he didn't take you, it's because you don't go to mass and the demons will kill you if you don't decide to follow God. Little budget, little action

It is in fact a religious movie. If you are not a religious person, don't waste your time watching it.
