Any of you guys like Apocalyptic movies like The Omen or The Seventh Sign? I was always fascinated with those kinds of movies. They're like scary sci-fi and the best ones have a touch of religious accuracy, at least by reference.Here are a couple I thought were pretty cool. Check out The Ninth Gate, with Johnny Depp and directed by Roman Polanski.
Another little-known flick is Revelation, a British film with Terence Stamp and written by Stuart Urban.
One thing that's interesting about this movie is it's use of Gnostic references, similar to the way Stigmata uses the Apocryphal book of Thomas. Revelation brings Knights Templar, Illuminati, Alchemy and the Loculus into the picture, which makes the story quite interesting.
There are lots of movies that use purely Christian Biblical references, such as the Cloud Ten productions, Left Behind and Revelation. They're are a lot of fun. There are also movies that are a bit more secular but that still rely mostly on Biblical Christian references, like The Omen or The Prophesy. These tend to deviate some from Biblical text. If you like that sort of thing and yet want something with a little more edge, check out Revelation or The Ninth Gate.
