Its physical form is in cinemas; its soul is already circling the 24-hour garage bargain bin.

Like Paranormal Activity at a wedding - Paranuptial Activity? - this low-budget horror has its moments. Much, much better than Legion, although not as scary as the actual Book of Revelation.

Rated: 3/5

Variety

A theologically questionable but fitfully exciting melodrama about fear and loathing among the non-Raptured.

A piece of religious propaganda lacking scares or substance.

Rated: 3.5/10

FILMINK (Australia)

Some will balk at the idea of a faith based horror film, however The Remaining successfully manages to walk the fine line between bloody-minded entertainment and religious discourse.

Radio Times

Nimbly directed by Casey La Scala, and performed with engaging conviction, this Book of Revelations faith-based shocker is surprisingly effective.

Rated: 3/5

The Remaining starts off with a decent setup, introducing its characters with a handheld camera style that gives it a sense of immediacy. Unfortunately, that's about where the good parts end. The plot quickly falls apart, with pacing that feels inconsistent and a script that relies too much on clichés. The movie never really builds tension, and instead of diving into the weight of its concept, it leans on surface-level drama without much depth. The directing feels amateurish, especially with the way scenes abruptly cut with no proper transition, making it feel more like a rough edit than a finished film. Visually, the choice of a full-frame camera works against the movie's intended disaster and apocalyptic tone, making everything look too polished when it should feel gritty. The overuse of shaky cam doesn't add intensity, it just makes the scenes hard to watch. The acting is passable, but the characters are one-dimensional, with dialogue that feels forced and unnatural. The score doesn't do much to enhance the atmosphere, and the sound design, while functional, never elevates the tension. By the end, the movie just feels like wasted potential, dragging itself to a finish with nothing memorable to take away.

Pretty bad overall. Starts off kinda promising at a wedding. Just turns very stupid.

If you gave this movie three or more stars you probably aren’t getting raptured. But seriously, this movie is for certain ppl to get off on their hope that others will die a horrific death because they don’t have the same beliefs.

I don't know how long the movie was but I regret wasting that time spent watching that dumb ass movie when I could have been doing something else with my life. One of the worst movies I have ever seen, I went to this effort just to review it, that's how much it SUCKED!!!!

Not a bad apocalyptic movie if you can ignore the overt proselytizing aspects of the storyline. The actors did a good job IMO.

I kept fast-forwarding through it to find something interesting. It wouldn't be as terrible if i didn't have to sit through moments of bible study. They definitely spent some money making this, but there's definitely an agenda.
