Viewing Notes

Movie 19?

Didn’t realize this was a faith-based horror thriller but now I’m really curious about it.

Gotta give credit for going full horror here to convey a religious message about the book of Revelations. What drags the movie down is the heavy handed and often ham-fisted way they bring it into the movie. Like so on the nose it becomes eyerolling.

Had this been more of a stock horror thriller with just this group of survivors dealing with the end of times it may have worked a little better. I say “a little” because of lot of this is familiar ground getting rehashed. But probably a good flick for religious types that wouldn’t watch traditional horror.
