Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Possibly the worst movie ever made..
Review: This movie is like a bad student film on a big budget: wooden acting, no direction, and then some sex thrown in to try and make up for its shortcomings. If you like to make fun of movies "Mystery Science Theatre"-style, then you should definitely watch it. Otherwise, skip it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A hybrid genre classic
Review: This truly is Mimi Rogers' best performance, and a thankful stepping stone for David Duchovny, if he turned this one down he might have never got chance to get that X Files role that he was born to play.
The Rapture is basically an experimental hybrid genre classic, it focuses on a womans spiritual and sexual awakening, first she is promiscous then she discovers the bible.
Being a devoted David Duchovny fan this is a film that never leaves my memory because of its total sincerity to the charachter and its haunting soundtrack, critics who watched it once should be invited to watch it again second time around and catch the bits that they missed, its a little gem from To Kill A Mocking bird Dierctor 'Micheal Tolkin'.
Be pleased if you own it on tape as its one for your alternate collection.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: DVD Has Been Edited A Little, But Still A Good Movie
Review: You would think that the DVD version of this movie would be the "uncut" version, but instead it seems like the DVD has been cropped at the top and bottom, no matter what you view it on, so that certain things have been removed from the film- Most notably in the shower scene; In the original cut, you can see more details. Conversely, the DVD version of this scene could probably be played on television without much fuss! What's very puzzling about this is that the clear view of David Duchovny's naked [...] is still in the movie, as are other explicit scenes!

Anyway, as a movie, this is decent. I'd recommend Christians avoid it, though. It will just tick them off.
