Customer Reviews of Thief in the Night

A life changing movie
I was 12 yrs old the first time I viewed this movie. I remember being scared to death that it would happen to me. I was 15 yrs old when I became a Christian. During the alter service the scenes from this movie and its sequels rolled through my mind and I knew I did not want to go through the things I had seen portrayed. This movie has made such an impact on my life and I wish every one could see it at least one time in their life. I believe the world would be a much better place. You will not regret your purchase of this or the rest of the series.

Cheap, amateurish & powerful primal raw C'tian cinema!
Forget the LEFT BEHIND movies, this is the genuine B-grade Christian horror film of all time. I'm still a Christian, tho no longer a Rapturist, and I gotta admit the THIEF IN THE NIGHT series still packs a wallop. It's cheaply made, amateurishly acted, and simplistically written, but it has a profound raw earnestness of sheer primal emotional power. Same with the three sequels A DISTANT THUNDER, IMAGE OF THE BEAST and PRODIGAL PLANET.

The only such movies to come close- Michael Tolkin's THE RAPTURE (starring Mimi Rogers & David Duchovny- NOT a C'tian
production *L* - a well-deserved R but must-viewing for mature C'tians); and Parts 2-4 of Cloud Ten Production's Apocalypse series- REVELATION (Jeff Fahey & Carol Alt), TRIBULATION (Gary Busey, Margot Kidder, Howie Mandel-?!?!) & JUDGMENT (Corbin Bersen, Mr. T), tho skip the original APOCALYPSE unless you're a completist.

Excellent Example Of Christian Cinema
I was 16 when I saw this movie for the first time. It cleared up a lot of questions I had about why a person must be "Saved". I made a decision for Christ shortly afterward.

Since I have watched all four and consider the cornerstone of any Christian media library as it is a reminder of what is in store for this world and us. The thing that gets me the most is that what these other reviewers fail to understand (and it is not their fault) is that Christians watch a Christian film not for its originality (the story is over 2000 years old!)and its ability to appeal to all audiences at all times however (It is a Christian Ministry Tool!), it is always been the message. The story line and entertainment is just a welcome add on.

These same reviewers could probably say that the Passion of The Christ film was a "rehash" of older Biblical movies and it was not done in a certain manner to suit a particular segment of the population yet it is one of the most highest grossing movies of all time. We are not embarrassed of these films; we embrace them and enjoy them.

I recommend this film to all. Use it as a ministry tool for the youth. I was 15 when I first saw these films in 1995 so they are as much relevant now as they were then.
