    Pathetic Scare Film

    Future Tense is about Michael a young man who is a firm Bible believer and worries that his family is headed for Hell when the rapture happens because they dont have the same beliefs. He makes a cassette tape in a studio for some reason telling his beliefs. Then a dream he has. Muh of this film takes place in the imagination of the parents. Why the daughter does not go to Heaven I dont know. What did she do?

    Its a horrible boring short that tries to scare you into believing what the film makers believe.

    Fantastic short film for Christian Witnessing

    30 minutes of power is my opinion! I will not discuss the plot but simply state that this movie is ideal for helping a Christian get their message across to their non-religious family...or loved ones. The movie is 20 years old but there is no let-down due to age. Looks like it was made just a few years ago.
