[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 441466, member: 8"] The Rapture (1991) [ATTACH type="full"]59215[/ATTACH] I had heard of this film a long time ago* but it never appeared on youtube or anything, so I decided enough is enough, buy the DVD and get it over with. Apparently it has a certain reputation and now that I've seen it I think it qualifies as "cult". It is obviously very low-budget but that didn't stop them from going all the way which, I guess, is admirable, but it also shows that the themes are a little bit too ambitious for such a small project. Perhaps it would have helped if they had managed to make it look more atmospheric. Story-wise it skips a lot of details and convincing character motivation - the protagonist starts reading the bible and in the next scene she's become a religious fanatic. I guess it was a real page-turner.
