Revealer

The basis for the film is fairly straightforward. A condescending religious protester and the arrogant peep show performer she dislikes have to work together to escape an apocalyptic invasion by alien creatures.

Neither of the characters are particularly likeable, nor are their characters developed particularly well. The amble their way through the peep show store in an attempt to escape the demonic mega creature that wants to kill them.

Ultimately, nothing interesting happens, the dialog is uninspired and the film as a whole feels incredibly dull. It was clearly trying to ride the Stranger Things wave, with its 80s setting, music, and creatures, but it creates none of the likeable characters and character interactions, you see in the latter, and its horror elements are no match.

Throw in an unnecessary "religious girl who is secretly a lesbian" character arc (because that ticks one of the "popular things to add" boxes), but adds nothing to the overall film; along with a deliberately phallic looking attack on the peep show dancer, and that's about as much excitement as you'll get out of this one.

Not one I'd recommend watching, and certainly not one that will get a rewatch.

Funnily enough, the end credits are almost better than the whole rest of the movie.

Other than that, pretty predictable plots points, special effects are good though.

Getting annoyed by the constant criticism, a stripper at a local club trying to dodge the constant religious protests against the club finds herself stuck with one of the protestors when a religious apocalypse starts leaving them to put their differences aside to escape the situation.

Overall, this one was pretty decent enough when it really tried to. The main factor to be had with this one is the highly enjoyable and fun setup involving the series of contrasts that exists throughout here. This one spends so much time informing us of the differences between the two of them, with the carefree and rebellious stripper in charge of herself while the self-righteous and uptight religious zealot leading the protests against her coming across as the perfectly diametrically-opposed opposites that can be stuck in a situation like this. The series of religious taunting and morality-based accusations against each other that make up the majority of the conversations throughout here which become all the more likable as time goes on and they find themselves stuck together. That leads to the actually fun series of encounters and confrontations that emerge once the two are forced together. This not only manages to tie together the non-horror scenes where they try to break her out of the booth that she got stuck in while the whole cataclysm started while still fighting each other for their beliefs, but the later scenes involving them trying to battle back against the creatures spawned to kill them. With several impressive scenes in the underground tunnels while they try to make their way to safety offering some rather likable sequences, this one manages to get some fine genre elements in play while utilizing the concept of the impending religious apocalypse to offer up plenty of fun elements that hold it up overall. There aren't a lot of flaws here but it does have some issues. The main detriment to be had here is the overlong set up in the first half that focuses on the two trying to get their differences out that comes off as utterly bland and dull. The constant arguments and put-downs that the two of them spout off to each other signal that this one will be going through the same motions regarding their fight for the entire segment. It's not that appealing or creative to have the two go through the same arguments numerous times over, especially with the second half going through a redemption arc for the one character to make her change her ways that turn everything into a rather familiar sense of religious persecution. Hardly any of this comes off as thoughtful in regards to how it all pays off with the apocalypse taking place which just undoes a lot of the positives and ends up knocking this down overall.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.

Judgment day theme is not my favorite type of movie. Especially when it's on a budget and having no serious plot twist. The horror is kinda boring. The scares are only effective against 5 year olds. And the ending didn't give the audience any closure they deserve. The only good thing we can get from this movie is just the moral lesson. Which we can get from any other sources without having to go through the boredom.

Really fun 80s set buddy movie (a stripper and a religious fanatic) with a dose of apocalyptic horror and two great leads. The two main actresses completely make the movie with their campy, but believable personalities and killer chemistry.
