The 85-minute end-times drama stars David A.R. White as a detective plunged into a recurring nightmare when his wife and friends disappear during a dream vacation. Unraveling links with the crime underworld, the cop is also forced to investigate his personal beliefs and recognize that earthly paradise is only temporary.

In the Blink of an Eye also reunited White with Eric Roberts (L.A. Confidential, The Dark Knight), with whom he appeared in 2000's well-received Christian drama Mercy Streets. "He has told me that he really likes doing films that he knows his daughter can watch," White said of Roberts' recurring involvement in Christian films.

"We make these films primarily to encourage the church, first and foremost, and for them to use as outreach tools," White said. But In the Blink of an Eye "will have some crossover appeal for the suspense and the action."

In the Blink of an Eye is distributed by EMI CMG Distribution. Read the full report in the Dec. 7 issue of Christian Retailing.
