Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

grnidgrl81 All these reviews I've read so far are from kids that got scarred for life or from anti-Christian views. Now first of I was one of those kids "forced" to watch this movie, though I never felt forced. I attended a Christian school and the whole school watched it together. Did this movie scare me? Hell yes I was about 6 or 7 when I watched this.. This movie is based on the book Revelations from the bible. It's basis starts that a pre-tribulation rapture occurs (if you are unfamiliar with that it basically means that the Christian people of the world will be taken from the earth before the start of the 7 years of tribulation). I would never recommend that you sit a child down to watch this movie, I don't really know what it is about it the visuals or the haunting feel, but it will scare just about any kid, especially if they come from a background of knowledge of the "End Times". The movie itself is done in a 70's theme, bell-bottoms and the whole bit. The acting is pretty bad. Though if you want to learn a little about what Christians think will happen in the not so distant future watch it. For those people saying this is a scare tactic movie for the Christian movement, I would say yes and no. In the movie if you accept Christ as your savior before the rapture, you are spared living through the 7 years of tribulation, but on the other hand; if you accept Christ after the tribulation you will be hunted down and killed. It was meant as a Christian movie. I believe those that don't have some knowledge of the Christian faith or have it themselves will just dog this movie because it is from that view. Though I'm not saying this is a great movie by any means, but it definitely was an interesting view especially when I watched it again as an adult.

frankiedoodles I saw this on Classic Movies online and I was hooked. I had to buy this. The acting could use some help, but the message came through loud and clear, accept Jesus in your heart. Many of us go to church and don't listen or get a useless politically correct version of scripture. This is dangerous and the movie shows that. I am going to watch all the sequels to this. This movie is too important. Judging by some of the comments, it is probably best for parents to view this with younger children, but it is too important for parents to disregard it altogether. Get a copy and judge for yourself, but you will find this movie to be an essential part of your collection. I am going to give a copy to a lady at our church who does a ministry in the prison.

beltanegoddess I was forced to watch this whole series of films as a young child and I was told they were REAL! Talk about child abuse. I would have been less frightened of Dracula or Frankenstein. This series is only good for people who believe in this ridiculousness and who want to indoctrinate their children into believing the same. Besides the obvious issues associated with brainwashing and indoctrination, there's also the bad acting, bad writing, and BAD "special effects". They are just all around terrible, terrible movies. Yes, believable (and horrifying) to a kid, but I can't imagine a grown-up buying into this shlock. Although, I must say, that I would be interested in seeing them today, as an adult. They might have a certain midnight/cult movie feel to them.

rdrsmail I remember watching these movies when I was a kid, and it was on a Saturday night at the Baptist Church. Of course it's campy and out dated, the acting sucks and looks like they spent all over $27 making it. But at the time I think it did what the producers were hoping. It got people thinking and talking about what the days before and after the Rapture of the Church would be like and what could be done to reach the lost. Not everybody who watches these movies even think twice about Christ. They just look at them as a campy budget flick. I have these all on DVD now and watch them every now and then, and I don't look at them as gloom and doom and depressing like some of you apparently do. They're just movies. I remember being a kid and watching them and they didn't scare the hell out of me. But I did wonder how close we were to the Rapture. Now, a bit older and a bit more ancient than I was way back when, I still enjoy the movies. But that's all they are. Movies. Take them for what they are. And if it bothers you that someone tried evangelizing through them, don't watch 'em.
