Looking for literal biblical apocalypse movie.


Hello there folks :)

I'm looking for a Hollywood movie that depicts the apocalypse as in The Book of Revelations complete with demons. Like a serious version of "This is the End". I'm talking seven trumpets sounding, the four horsemen of the apocalypse, fire and demons everywhere. I only remember over the top scenes like this from comedies, but surely there has to be some horror or action movie like this.

I'm not talking about those movies where they take the source material and explain it so it makes more sense in the real world. And I'm also not talking about those "christian movies" with their horrible special effects. I'm talking Hollywood blockbuster. I'm okay with special effects that are old and didn't really age well.

If there aren't any blockbusters that portray the biblical apocalypse literally, I think someone needs to make one.

Also: No, I'm not a Christian. And I'm not in the mood for religious debates. :)

The Rapture from the nineties may be the closest... although it's low budget so there's not a lot of special effects.

Red State is a good take on this theme

Legion (2010)? It's been a while since I've seen it, and I can't vouch for the quality, but it had some apocalyptic stuff going on.

Edit: I know you said serious, but Rapture-Palooza (2013) is also about the biblical Apocalypse. A comedy though.

Haven't watched it but found this on youtube.

The movie 'The Remaining' from 2014 with Alexa PenaVega matches some of your criteria. I doubt there is a movie that meets all of your criteria though.
