"Welcome to Rockwell Falls. Population 436" is the tagline that seems announcing a scary movie. What we have here is another indie, relatively old, that shows its age maybe even a bit more than what it is. Technically is a horror, practically that scary movie announcement is not much more than an announcement. Not that I would have a problem with that, but the movie is pretty ... dry, I can't find another better word for it. The story goes like this - we have a guy working for the Census Bureau, who has an assignment to Rockwell Falls = middle of nowhere, where he's initially welcomed with sheer hostility that turns around in just a few hours. Around meaning up to the point of being greeted by everybody on the street. Of course that it doesn't need much more to the guy to figure out that something's fishy, especially given that nobody wants to explain him why the records show 436 as a constant population number for the last 100 years or so. You'll get the answer in the movie. What I can say more is that the plot is pretty original for a horror. Unfortunately it's messed by some scenes that lose lots of credibility (including a romance that brings you to the eye-rolling state again & again & again...).
Rating: 2.5 out of 5
