Years Of The Beast [1981]

While we love a good Christian movie, especially one with the promise of Revelations, this one we really can't recommend. It starts off kind of promising when a college professor, who's teaching Faust, sees one of his coworkers who is openly Christian disappear into thin air. From there, the world goes into a pretty minor amount of hooliganism (like The Purge but as imagined by Christians) as the professor travels to his father-in-law's house. A leader who's the Beast raises up to get power and wants everyone to receive his symbol, but our group of new Christians refuses and becomes outlaws. Most of the film is unfortunately just wandering around. There is a brief moments of some bad special effects but considering the insanity of Revelations, this was a giant letdown. We were hoping for some genuine Christian fearmongering and extremity but no dice. Skip it.
