A dysfunctional family have their gathering at a secluded farmhouse interrupted by a mysterious burst of light that's followed by a power outage. Could it be aliens or demons behind this?
Director/co-writer Douglas C. Williams relates the absorbing story at a constant pace, takes time to develop the characters, ably crafts a creepy and enigmatic atmosphere, generates a good deal of tension, and adds a heavy religious subtext that gives this picture an extra potent and provocative edge.
The sound acting by the capable cast keeps this movie humming: James St. Vincent as the wayward Joseph, Brian Foyster as the cruel Carl, Jason Iannacone as the protective Dale, Ben Browder as the sarcastic Agent Dixon, Danielle Skraastad as brash tramp Tanya, Stephen Dexter as jerky bully Alan, Kaylyn Scardefield as the sweet Grace, and James Patrick Nelson as the meek Dennis. Popping up in smaller roles are Robert John Burke as the hard-nosed Sheriff Campbell and Lance Henriksen as fire and brimstone preacher Reverend Campbell. Worth a watch.
