Last updated: March 3, 2020


AKA: A Thief in the Night IV: The Prodigal Planet. Fantasy Adventure. Last in a series of movies about fundamentalist Christians fighting the forces of the Antichrist during the Apocalypse. Starring William Wellman Jr., Lynda Beattie, Cathy Wellman, Thom Rachford, Robert Chestnut, and Terri Lynn Hall. Filming locations: Albuquerque, Cabezón, Gallup, Navajo Reservation, Red Rock State Park, Ruidoso (Fox Cave).

Funny fundamentalist film. I particularly like the forces of the AntiChrist chasing one of the heroines among the dress racks at the old Sweetbriar Dress Shop.
