A wedding party is shattered when biblical prophecies of the Apocalypse are fulfilled in this tentative attempt to make a mainstream version of the end-of-days movies which have been popular with American evangelicals. It’s tougher than the Left Behind films: here, the raptured drop dead rather than being transported bodily to heaven, and raging demons stalk the ruins, attacking panicky, well-intentioned not-Christian-enough folks not selected for instant salvation. It has message-y moments, as characters rue their previous sins, but plays well as a low-budget essay in apocalyptic horror along the lines of Cloverfield or The Mist.
The Remaining Review
Newlyweds Skylar (Vega) and Dan (Dechart) have just exchanged vows when the Apocalypse begins. Amid all the flying demons and Skylar's freshly-raptured parents, their first dance suddenly doesn't seem like such a big worry after all.

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