This movie is over 100 minutes of boring. Almost nothing happens for the first hour and the viewer is basically treated to "hey, here's life in a small town where people don't do cell phones, internet, or cable TV, isn't that neat?"
The actors aren't bad, but they can't overcome a serious lack of script or story telling. It's literally like a camera rolling through a small scenic town for an hour. Oh yeah, there's a slightly spooky van driving through town that nobody seems to notice or care about except for a couple of people. But honestly, nothing really happens and after an hour and ten minutes of this you'll start to realize that no matter how cool the ending could possibly be, it can't justify the slow, agonizing pace of the film. The basic story could be told, even with all the slow building tension you'd ever want, inside of 35 to 40 minutes. There's just not enough meat to the script as it was put onto film to justify an hour and forty minute long movie. It fell apart. I don't bore easily, but I almost couldn't get through this plodding piece of ca-ca. And now, I'm going back to the video store and demanding my money back. And I will make sure to remember never to watch another Tyler Tharpe film ever again, if I can. Unless someone can promise me he's improved his editing skills immensely.
