The “Remaining” are those people left behind once the Christians are raptured, having been taken to Heaven with God. THE REMAINING is a thriller with some horror movie conventions about the beginning of the Apocalypse during the End Times. THE REMAINING has no foul language or lewd content, but MOVIEGUIDE® advises extreme caution due to the violent, scary way in which some characters die. However, the focus isn’t always directly on accepting Jesus. THE REMAINING has a strong Christian, biblical, moral worldview as individuals are faced with deciding whether what the Bible says is true. The movie’s intense pace suits the storyline. The movie is shot well but visually very dark. ![]() THE REMAINING is a well-written story about forgiveness, acceptance, love, and sacrifice.
