From the beginning in this, there's a sense that something's not right. Power outages. A hole cut in a wire fence. Chaotic violence on a TV newscast. Dogs fighting. Kids who go missing in the night. At first you think maybe the world's gone out of whack. And then you think, maybe not. Maybe it's the people. And the incidents get more disturbing. And they keep piling up. What's going on here, anyway? It's an unsettling premise, the kind of thing that in the hands of another director - Brian De Palma, maybe, or Roman Polanski - could creep you out big time, and you keep waiting for it to go somewhere, anywhere, but it doesn't. It just ends. That's all.
