The Remaining

Trumpets blow and the wrath of God unleashes the four horsemen of the apocalypse in a religious-themed horror movie with lots of Biblical references. When close knit friends get together for the wedding of Alexa Vega (SpyKids) and the newly converted Bryan Dechart, they witness the Rapture instead of the expected nuptials. They then have to face a series of catastrophic events while nocturnal creatures they have only heard about in sermons cause epic mayhem to create a new world order. The film downplays the preachiness while ensuring that the striking nightmare visuals are ace, meaning that you don't have to go to Bible classes to enjoy it. Nimbly directed by Casey La Scala, and performed with engaging conviction, this Revelations-based shocker is surprisingly effective.
