The Remaining was one of the smaller horror/scifi releases of 2014, but it has grabbed my attention much more than the Nicholas Gage fronted Left Behind. Instead of focusing just on the rapture of the world’s popular a la “The Leftovers,” The Remaining once again looks to be ahead of the game by incorporating the often overlooked aspect of the biblical legend: the part where the humans left behind are required to fight the Anti-Christ and his army of demons. You can catch a glimpse at the action below!
After receiving a limited theatrical run, where The Remaining beasted the competition and grossed $1,200,00 at the US box office, this title is now being distributed to all home media formats through Sony. The street date is currently set for January 27, 2015. On that date, the film will be available on Blu-ray, DVD, and all VOD outlets. So, for those of you like myself who weren’t close to a theater during its run, now is your chance to see this hopefully kick ass film!
The Remaining is written and directed by Donnie Darko and Amityville: Awakening producer Casey La Scala with “Days of Our Lives” star Chris Dowling. Cast members include Alexa Pena-Vega (Repo The Genetic Opera, “The Tomorrow People”), Shaun Sipos (Texas Chainsaw 3D, “The Vampire Diaries”), Johnny Pacar (Playback, “American Dreams”), Italia Ricci, Bryan Dechart, Liz E. Morgan, and Erin Murphy.
“A supernatural thriller that addresses questions of life, love and belief against an apocalyptic backdrop. A group of close friends gather for a wedding, but the celebration is shattered by a series of cataclysmic events and enemies foretold by biblical end-times prophecies. The survivors face a horrifying, uncertain future as they scramble for safety, but as their world collapses around them in chaos and terror will they choose real life through faith, or just try to survive?” – IMDB
