Renamed one trope.
* QuestionableCasting: Creator/NicolasCage is Rayford in the reboot. Because when you think of the normal, stand-up guy, everyman Rayford, your mind instantly goes to over-the-top, insane, Nicolas Cage. If anything, many think Cage would have been better off cast as Nicolae Carpathia, TheAntiChrist. It also goes both ways: Cage actually does play Rayford as a straight man, but that only ends up most certainly being a bummer for everyone who went to see the movie expecting to see Cage at his usual LargeHam self. In the words of Rational Wiki:
-->"Here's how bad it is: they make a movie about the end of the world, starring Nicolas Cage, and they ''cast him in the role of the sane one''."

** her young brother disappears out of her arms, and she calls home (a fair walk from the mall, as she illustrates on her way home) and tell him to pick up if he's listening - as if after losing him he could have walked home that quickly or hitched a ride.
** She leaves the mall, even though that was the last place she saw him, and everyone around her is also holding piles of clothing that were once children.
** She goes to the hospital, despite not actually knowing if her brother was hurt or sent there in the first place.
** She breaks a glass door to get into the hospital, and then ''crawls'' (albeit carefully) on her hands and knees over the glass, not using the sign she used to break it to provide at least a little protection, or knocking the rest of the glass out and trying to squat down to get through on two feet.
** Chloe is poised to even ''commit suicide'' in an idiotic way, positioning herself to leap down through the girders of the bridge - instead of off the side - as if she really wants to hit some of them on the way down.

* TheUntwist: The Rapture. While probably everybody who was even vaguely familiar with the ''Left Behind'' franchise when the 2014 film premiered or did five minutes of Googling before watching it knew that it's the big mass-disappearance event that happens and why those who vanished were taken, the 2014 film leaves it unclear for the first hour and a half and then presents it as a big twist.

$16,000,000 is not a \'\'Plan Nine\'\' budget. When \"parents object\" to the disappearance of their children, it\'s to the tune of, \"WHERE\'S MY BABY?!\"; the rest is stretching. Movie reviews are not the same as seeing the movie.
