THIS IS THE END (2013)

 

Jay Baruchel arrives in Los Angeles to visit with old friend and fellow actor Seth Rogen, who invites him to attend a housewarming party hosted by James Franco. Jay is uncomfortable being around so many people that he hardly knows and leaves the party to buy some cigarettes, accompanied by Seth.

 

At a convenience store, beams of blue light come down from the sky and carry away numerous people. Seth and Jay flee to James' home amid explosions, vehicular crashes and mass chaos. A powerful earthquake occurs and the guests rush outside to find the Hollywood Hills on fire. A large crack opens in the earth and many celebrities fall into it and die. Seth, Jay, James, Jonah Hill, and Craig Robinsonsurvive and run back into the house. Believing that they will soon be rescued, the five take inventory of the available supplies, including food and water, various drugs, and a pistol. They set up a ration system, board up the doors and windows and await help.

 

The next morning, Danny McBride, wakes up first. Unaware of the crisis, he wastes much of the supplies and disbelieves the others' accounts until a desperate outsider seeking aid is decapitated in their presence. The men pass the time by taking drugs and filming a homemade sequel to the film Pineapple Express. Tensions rise, however, due to various conflicts, including Jay and Seth's growing estrangement, and the others' skepticism of Jay's belief that the disaster might be the Apocalypse predicted in the Book of Revelation.

 

Later, Emma Watson, who also survived the party, returns to the house. However, after misunderstanding a conversation between the men, Emma believes that they plan to rape her and leaves, taking all of their drinks with her. Craig is chosen to travel outside to the basement for water, but finds the door locked and returns after an encounter with an unknown being.
