Garrett B. - Gtmkm98 The first in a series of end-time films spanning over five hours and 10+ years of production total, A Thief in the Night provides context to the horror of the next few films, packing everything possible into an hour of screen time. Mainly used introduce the characters and set up the timelines of the rest of the films, this film provides little in action and horror until the last 15 minutes - although it does give plenty of food-for-thought for Christians regarding the Rapture. Do not this film watch by itself, watching the other films in the series is essential to the experience.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review max m Wow that was without doubt the single worst movie I've ever watched. An incoherent mess dealing with something called The Rapture, apparently a topic of considerable import in Evangelical Christian circles although I could barely figure out what it referred to, something about Christians disappearing, a beast, an Anti-Christ, the apocalypse. If this film is supposed to be proselytic then congratulations to anyone who can decipher its message. The acting is shockingly wooden. In one scene one character lies at death's door in hospital while nurses stand around him fiddling with equipment and drips, looking utterly stupefied while his partner and a friend are in the waiting room, supposed to be anxiously awaiting the outcome while antivenom arrives but looking like bored schoolkids waiting outside the principal's office. One of them inexplicably has rollers in her hair as she flicks disinterestedly through a magazine - does she mistakenly think she's at the hairdresser's? - and then, with all the conviction of a wet blanket - prays that God might keep her friend alive and speed the medical team delivering the antivenom on its way. I mean hopefully you get the idea. Utter nonsense delivered with all the verve of a bunch of strangers at a funeral wake. Awful script, awful screenplay, awful direction, production, cinematography, acting, cinematography, even the sound is awful. Do not bother. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This "film" scared the living shit out of me. I saw it when I was 8 years old when my parents took me to a church where it was showing. Years of therapy haven't even touched the pain and suffering I've incurred from this POS. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The original end times porn film. First thing you need to know is liberals are evil and always in league with the Beast. Second thing is that after the Rapture (which for some reason in this series doesn't include children who aren't past the age of innocence, are you kidding me??), everyone left behind turns into some zombie stock character, rather than simply being the same good, bad or indifferent person they were the day before. They're either suddenly fanatical in promoting the antichrist's agenda, criminally gullible in falling for it, or on a soapbox about their sudden conversion to Christianity, preaching to skeptics who act like they're reading their church's straw man arguments against Christianity from cue cards. Even Dunning, whose character is at least interesting because she's gutsy enough to keep both the Beast and Jesus at arm's length, only really comes alive when she's screaming in horror or running away from UNITE minions. The rest of the time she delivers her lines in a half-asleep monotone. The film's main goal is to convert people to Christianity by scaring them into believing that literally the next second might be too late. It does this through cardboard characters, sermons every three minutes and grotesque caricatures of what non-Christians are like. Oh, and everyone who ends up saved is lily white. This is a really good way to get someone to embrace Christianity for a few months or years, then ditch it when the fear wears off and they never go back because all they were ever taught was the fear of hell, not the hope of heaven. It's also an excellent illustration of Madeleine L'Engle's famous mantra: "Good art isn't always good religion, but bad art is always bad religion." Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Although dated, still one of the most powerful Christian movies today.
