Welcome to Movie Shortens. Follow us today to a 2014 American apocalyptic horror film titled:
The Remaining. Before we start, be aware: there are spoilers!
As the film begins, we see Tommy is recording messages for Dan and Skylar's wedding day. Jack
plays a prank on Tommy, making fun of him as he records. Jack takes the camera and lets Dan know
how much they all love and support him. Skylar's friend Lauren arrives late,
but stops to give a message to Skylar and Dan to put each other's needs first.
Elsewhere, Tommy films Skylar putting last minute touches on the wedding decor.
Allison is also helping and tries to get Tommy to help as well.
Later on during the wedding, Tommy sets up a camera and walks down with Lauren,
followed by Jack and Allison. At the altar, the couple both says
"I do" and are pronounced husband and bride. Afterwards Tommy gives a speech about when Dan
first came to him about marrying Skylar. Everyone applauds and the cake is cut.
Tommy brings Allison some cake, but she states she's on a diet. Tommy asks her why she isn't her
usual self. She confides that she's upset that Jack hasn't asked her to marry yet
after being together 7 years. Elsewhere, Skylar intentionally
tosses her bouquet at Allison, and Jack expresses his frustration at the act.
A time later, Allison is visibly upset and goes to leave. Jack catches up with her and
asks her not to go, but is interrupted by Tommy recording, and Allison slips away.
Later on, Tommy is in the elevator with Skylar's parents and asks them what the
secret to their marriage is. They let Skylar know her wedding was perfect,
but suddenly the lights begin to flicker. Skylar's parents collapse and Tommy goes to find
help. He sees the reception room in chaos as multiple people have dropped to the floor.
He rushes downstairs and finds Jack, Dan and Skylar with Lauren,
who is lying still on the ground. Tommy tells Jack that Skylar's parents are in
the elevator, but Skylar overhears him. Tommy and Jack go to find Allison,
and come outside to see even more chaos happening in the streets.
They rush back inside as an earthquake hits, and everyone flees as debris falls around them.
A piercing trumpet sound brings everyone to a halt, but subsides. Tommy informs the group of
Allison's location, and they rush again for safety as lightning strikes the area.
As they head towards Allison, they speculate what could have caused these horrific events.
Skylar claims the events to be the biblical end of the world. Tommy says whatever is
happening is based on science, not fantasy. As they move further on, huge chunks of hail begin
to fall from the sky. Everyone takes shelter in a nearby library, but the group loses Skylar.
Everyone splits up to search the area, and Tommy ends up running into Sam.
She tries to introduce herself, but Tommy hurries on in his search.
He finally finds Skylar, and she is looking for a Bible. Sam hands her one, and Skylar looks for a
specific passage. She reads that hail would fall from the sky, and claims she shouldn't
in this situation because she went to church. They leave to find Allison and Tommy suggests she
might be at a nearby church. Jack questions how he knows that, but heads in that direction anyways.
Skylar doesn't want to leave, but Sam agrees with Tommy that they all should go.
The piercing sound echoes again, and they find a downed airplane.
As they continue on, Skylar begins to pray, and they hear the same loud trumpet.
Hearing something overhead, they search for the source, but Skylar is snatched away by
an unknown creature. It drops her a short distance away, and the group rushes to her
aid. She is injured but alive as they seek safety in the church up ahead.
Pastor Shay opens the door and they enter the safety of the church. They head into the
sanctuary, where a small group has gathered. Tommy asks Pastor Shay if they are safe,
and he replies that they are. They all introduce themselves,
meanwhile Jack spots Allison rushes to embrace her. Allison asks where Lauren
is and they have to give her the bad news. In another room, Nurse Rachel asks what causes
Skylar's injuries. Rachel cleans the wounds as Dan tells Skylar the story
of how they met to calm her. Tommy asks Pastor Shay what's happening
outside the church, and he tells Tommy that the Rapture is happening. Tommy doesn't believe him,
but Pastor Shay continues claiming they all have the same evidence,
but it's up to each person in how they draw their conclusions.
Tommy guesses that maybe aliens were responsible for Allison's attack and Pastor Shay laughs at him
and says they'll find out eventually. More survivors come to the church,
and one lady is pregnant. Nurse Rachel delivers the child, but the child is dead upon birth.
Tommy goes with Pastor Shay to dig a grave, and Tommy claims
he knew the baby would be stillborn. Pastor Shay admits he did, claiming the baby innocent.
Pastor Shay continues to dig, explaining that God has taken all the believers and innocent souls to
eternal life. He tells Tommy his family was taken as well, that he came to the church afterwards.
Tommy asks why Pastor Shay himself wasn't taken, and he implies that even though he was a pastor,
he didn't have real faith. Later in the night, Tommy watches
the earlier wedding recordings, and Jack comes out to see him. Tommy asks what the plan is,
and Jack wants to stay at the church, saying they don't know what's going on outside.
They are interrupted by banging on the church's door and ceiling, someone screaming to be let
in. Suddenly a body hits the window in front of Tommy and Jack, and is pulled away.
Afterwards, Tommy records himself and prepares to confess to Allison but is interrupted by Sam. She
asks what he was going to tell Allison, and he claims it is complicated. He eventually confides
that he has loved her since the first day he met her and that he wants her to be happy.
Back in the sanctuary, people watch a news report on the Rapture,
being labeled as "Instant Death Syndrome". They see similar incidents around the globe,
as people are raptured from all walks of life. Jack thinks back on an earlier conversation
with Allison. They apologize to each other, Allison letting him know she
was happy he went searching for her. He asks her how long she's been attending
the church and asks why she never told him. In the kitchen area, Sam watches a family video of
her mom's birthday. Tommy shows up and asks where her parents are, and she says they were taken.
Tommy asks why Sam is still here, and she replies that she's a good person,
just not the church type. The pair watches more reports and videos inside
the sanctuary, specifically about the strange weather patterns happening around the world.
In a secluded hallway, Dan is tending to Skylar who is still weak from her injuries.
Tommy is also by himself, watching more recordings of the wedding.
Meanwhile, Jack confesses to Allison that didn't know why he was waiting so long to marry her,
but still loves her. Tommy catches sight of this and interrupts as Jack attempts to propose.
He shows the clip of Allison's attack as Pastor Shay comes to watch as well. He
quotes from the bible, stating that the fifth trumpet sound opens up the abyss, and describes
not only the happenings around the world, but the creature that attacked Skylar.
They slow the clip to see an image of what attacked Skylar, Pastor Shay calling it one
of The Fallen. He also claims the world's situation will only get worse with time.
Back in the hallway, Skylar still suffers from her wound.
She cries her wound is burning, that she has to leave the church, and has to be restrained.
Nurse Rachel says she needs antibiotics, but has some in her car. Dan, Johnny and
Jack volunteer to get them despite the danger. Only Dan and Tommy end up leaving
and rush to find Nurse Rachel's car. They find the car and try to start it
up. Dan rips up the backseat looking for the medicine, and finds it.
One of The Fallen finds them and attacks the car. They manage to escape,
sprinting back to the church. Once inside, Dan hands Nurse Rachel the antibiotics.
Later in the night, Tommy records Allison and asks if she has anything to confess.
She says no, and Jack asks why he's still filming. He still ends up giving a confession,
saying the situation isn't going to beat him. Tommy then questions why it took Jack so long
to figure out that he loves Allison. Jacks takes the camera and confronts Tommy about his feelings
for Allison. He admits his feelings and Jack attacks him, but Allison breaks it up.
Dan also admits he cheated on Skylar before they got married. Allison says it doesn't matter now,
but Dan disagrees. Jack calls Tommy an idiot and storms off.
Later in the night, Nurse Rachel checks on Skylar, whose injuries have taken a turn for the worse.
She says the infection is spreading and Skylar needs something like an antivenom.
Dan wants to go to the hospital, but Tommy stops him. Tommy says The Fallen have only
attacked at night, so he should wait. Tommy meets Pastor Shay in his office,
and he tells Tommy it's not too late to believe. He says it's too late for them to be taken by
the rapture, but there is still hope. Pastor Shay goes out into the sanctuary and
introduces himself to the congregation. He confesses his failings as a pastor,
calling himself a fake. He calls this everyone's wake up call to
follow the difficult path to eternal life. He is interrupted by loud bangings against the
church walls and ceilings. Everyone rushes to the basement for shelter,
but they find Nurse Rachel missing. They hear one of The Fallen above them,
and hear Nurse Rachel at the door. Unfortunately, she is dragged away as
soon as they open the door to rescue her. Suddenly, Pastor Shay says that The Fallen are
there for him, and he steps outside the door, sacrificing himself.
The next morning, they open the basement door and venture back upstairs.
Seeing the sanctuary in shambles and Pastor Shay dead, they make their way outside.
The group makes it to the hospital to find it virtually abandoned. Getting Skylar to a bed,
they are unable to find any medicine. Jack goes to find a doctor, and before Tommy can join him,
Allison tells him to be careful. As the rest of the group waits,
Sam tells Allison her theory of what happens when someone dies. Allison says
some people believe her theory as proof of God's existence, and that she believes it as well.
Back upstairs, Tommy and Jack continue their search, entering a dark surgical room.
Meanwhile, Allison hears one of The Fallen below them, and it even alerts Tommy and Jack upstairs.
They search another hallway, then a bathroom, finding nothing.
Down below, Skylar wakes up and tells Dan she forgives him for everything,
and that she never really had faith even though she went to church. She sees a light
in her vision and passes away in Dan's arms. Allison begins to pray, and Dan bitterly asks
why she prays to a god that would let things like this happen to Skylar and storms off.
Allison asks Sam to record her as she confesses her lack of faith,
but is interrupted from hearing The Fallen. Meanwhile Dan is outside, yelling angrily at
God. Tommy and Jack see this, and call for him to stop.
Dan finally stops yelling but is killed soon after by one of The Fallen and flung away.
While this occurs, Sam is still recording Allison, and sees another
Fallen through her phone's camera. Jack and Tommy race downstairs to find
Sam and Allie missing, and Skylar dead. Tommy finds Sam's phone nearby and watches
the last recording. He watches to the end as Allison is attacked, killed, and flung away.
Jack finds her body as Sam comes out of hiding and hugs Tommy.
Tommy tells a heartbroken Jack they have to leave to find a relief center.
Jack insists on staying with Allison, and when Jack tries to make him leave,
Jack attacks him saying there is nothing he wants on the outside anymore.
They leave the hospital at night, and make their way to the relief center.
As they camp around a fire, Sam shows Jack and Tommy Allison's last recording. She claims to
have found real faith and that everyone has to make a choice, and that she chose God.
Jack walks off and meets with a pastor. Tommy realizes the Fallen are drawn to faith, and
tries to warn everyone, searching for Jack. Jack has been baptized as the Fallen attack again,
killing Jack. Sam tells Tommy they have to make a choice of faith, and that she
chooses God as well, leaving Tommy. The Fallen descend from the sky in
masse and Tommy is attacked, and dragged away as the final recording cuts out.
