The Rapture (1972) User Reviews

Blast from the past

[txflybyknight · 10/10 · 5 April 2021]

I am writing this at age 62 in 2021. I saw this film in the early 1970s in high school at a "Youth for Christ" meeting. You know it had an impact if I still remember it nearly 5 decades later.

I'd love to watch it again because like "1984", the concepts, which were not threatening at the time, are relevant today.

I am giving it a 10 because while I am sure that it was more crudely made than my adolescent mind realized at the time, any film that sticks with you for 50 years is unique.

Want to see it again!

I saw this movie as a brand new believer in the summer of 1973. Bought Dallas Holm's For Teens Only record after the movie. My first Contemporary Christian Music album. I hadn't heard about the rapture before this so I was intrigued.

Like the other reviewer, I have almost no recollection of what the movie was like except for the song by Dallas and that I was moved.

If this movie is still around, I would like to purchase it.
