Opens Friday, Jun 7, 2013 Synopsis: Seattle suburbanites Ben (John Francis Daley) and Lindsey (Anna Kendrick) learn that life after the Rapture is no picnic when the Beast (Craig Robinson) himself moves into their neighborhood and aims to make lovely Lindsey his infernal bride. The prophecies of the Bible have come to pass, and as a billion people vanish from the face of the Earth, the rest of humanity contends with taunting demons and showers of blood. Meanwhile, the Beast arrives in Seattle to stake his clam on this godforsaken planet. He's got eyes for Lindsey, who isn't about to exchange vows with Beelzebub. If Ben and Lindsey can just figure out a way to lock up the Beast for 1000 years, perhaps they'll be able to save the entire world from a fate worse than death. They won't be able to do it alone, but perhaps with the help of Lindsey's family and a few devoted friends, this unassuming couple will find a way to rid the world of the Antichrist and make life for the damned a little less miserable. Tom Lennon, Ana Gasteyer, John Michael Higgins, and Ken Jeong co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Anna Kendrick, John Francis Daley, Craig Robinson, Tom Lennon, Rob Corddry Movie Details Play Trailer Movie Review
