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.

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

At first glance, a mediocre apocalypse movie, then turns into cringeworthy religious preaching to the point where characters suddenly lose their traits and motivations to make the lecturing ending work. Do not watch. It does not even try to be a good movie.

Some really awkward attempt at religious brainwashing.

Premise based on the bible makes as much sense as the bible. Complete BS. I have seen films with worse acting, but cannot stand films that preach.

Like I understood it was a religious movie but it was so hard and so cringe to watch. Also 95% or the cast was straight and white.

OK for the wedding stuff, awful from then on. I don't know who this movie is for, since it doesn't remotely line up with actual Christian eschatological beliefs. All adults are accountable, but no children are; and the children all go to heaven anyway. Huh? Then the people who choose God *after* the Rapture all get carried off by demons, so I I thought the fun ending message was going to be DON'T have faith. But no. As an atheist, I was hoping for at least one interesting plot twist, but no. The "Sam" character who tags along for no explained reason could have turned out to be Satan or something (when the bible she is holding has ashen pages I thought maybe this was where the story was going), but no. And the notion that all the people left behind deserve something like Hell sits uncomfortably with their behavior after the Rapture--hardly anyone is a prick. Instead they are behaving like a caring community trying to pick up the pieces! The only prick in the whole movie is God.
