I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Blistering performances.

I never reviewed a single movie online and probably wont often. I hated this movie soooo bad that I actually created an account and singed up to write a review of this. Please Don't waste your time on this. It was the worst movie I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of bad ones before. You would have more fun picking a splinter out of your finger than watch this piece of junk. Ending was the worst part too. Not even scary one bit. Just kept saying how stupid and unbelievable this story is. I really don't understand all those who gave this one more than one star. I would give it a negative star if I could. I seriously wish someone said how bad this was. I would have saved my time and not watched this movie. Again this is my first review because I want to spare someone else of this junk. thats how strongly I feel about this movie. Trust me you will wish you listened to me if you go ahead and watch it.

It's amazing just how many so-called 'found footage' films there are these days. After the success of "The Blair Witch Project", many other independent filmmakers have also sought to make their mark with small budgets and films that supposedly consist of actual footage from real (and usually scary) events. The basic idea isn't bad but there is a problem with too many films trying to cash in on this style of picture. In other words, after a while the films start to have a certain sameness to them and few of the more recent found footage films are particularly watchable. This is my problem with "Apocalyptic", as it fails to break new ground and has an all too familiar ending.An Australian journalist and her film crew are shown at the beginning of the movie attending an AA-type meeting for addicts. However, one of the participants talks about having escaped from a cult and the reporter smells a story. So, she and the crew get permission from the cult leader, Michael, to stay with them and record their lives. The cult, it turns out is very small--with about a dozen people in it. All are women apart from Michael.At first the group seems odd but also quite happy. Sure, there are some weird aspects to the group--such as Michael claiming to have divine authority as well as his sleeping with most of the women. But the group still seems fairly normal. However, through the course of the film, Michael reveals himself to be a Jim Jones-type guy and he plans on a mass suicide. This final portion was not especially original--not only because of the famous Jonestown tragedy but because of another recent found footage movie, "The Sacrament", which pretty much recreates the Jonestown deaths. It also comes off as a bit exploitational and creepy watching all this at the end as opposed to being scary.So is it any good? Well, the film work is pretty much what you expect from such a movie and you get the jerky camera, folks running and the like. But the story, as I already mentioned, lacks freshness. It's just a case of 'been there/done that' and the ending is clearly what most folks watching the film are expecting. It would have been a lot more interesting with some OTHER twist--anything but what the film seemed to telegraph during the first hour or so of the picture. I think everyone associated with the project tried hard and it's watchable, but nothing more unfortunately.

Wow, what a creepy horror show. The scenery is great. The contrast between the pink dresses and the foggy English(Australian?) hills. Hills that served as battlefields for so many epic wars. The current war is a war of the soul. A war between heaven and earth. The ripeness of the soul is what awaits those who follow the path of the righteous. Narrow is the good path towards salvation. Exclusion from society, from the evils of civilized man, exclusion from sodomy. God manifested in the man, the polygamist, omg his face is so freaky. How did they find this guy lol. His eyes are like the darkest depths of the deepest abyss. His teeth are like a skeleton. He looks like he's a walking skeleton omg. So creepy. Was this movie shot in Aussie? It looked exactly like England wtf.

I went down to Melbourne (Cinema Nova) just to see the mans film himself Glenn Triggs new inspiring film "Apocalyptic". This was after seeing his prior film "41" I had high hopes which he did deliver very well :) Casting was fantastic! he did a great job, locations, character/s and story were all fantastic as well. I was captivated from start to finish the only thing that let me down the most but it was nothing major in terms of overall story or structure was the sound design I would of thrown a bit more sound design in there to really set it off and give it that Wow! Factor. I just felt that it was missing and really needed to give it that BOOM!! Shot of emotion. But other than that overall I thought it was a very well designed, put together film and I give it 7/10 i prob would of went up to 8 or 9 with the sound design.Luke (Writer/Producer/Director)Shilling Entertainment
