Image of the Beast (1980)

aka A Thief in the Night III: Image of the Beast

This is the third of a series of four films about the Biblical apocalypse and is generally considered the one to see; it might be better out of context, as the heroine who died in part 2 is back here and looks completely different as it was filmed years later, though is supposed to be immediately following that film. There's a ton of bad facial hair and weird clothes, even given the year it was released. The antichrist establishes a world government and a few who refuse to follow him are the heroes. The technology shone is quite laughable by today's standards, though it's supposed to be enough to take over the world. There's a TON of preachiness that will test your willingness to sit through the film before people are attacked by a giant locust. It's a small pay-off, I think.
