Reviews for The Rapture
An interestinbg if problematic film, whose last reel breaks free from the narrative to take on a more primitive line that recalls episodes out of TV's Outer limits or Twlight Zone.
The Rapture is not ostensibly a horror film, but I found it deeply frightening, and it is so on a purely conceptual level.
One of those flawed jewels that keeps tickling (and troubling) your memory for years.
