John C Jan 23 Um, don't really know how I can expand on the title. Four strangers wake up to find the world's population has disappeared and only their clothes remain. If that wasn't spooky enough, those `bad ghosts' from the Patrick Swayze film of the same name have finally got themselves another gig and keep coming out of the dark to make a grab for our dumbfounded heroes. Only staying in the ever diminishing light can save them. It's a good premise and the cast do well enough with the dialogue that's given to them. Plus there are some moments of genuine creepiness. It's quite an open-ended story. If you don't mind your films not giving too much away (yes, even after the credits roll) then you won't be too disappointed. I've read what other people have said on this film and some have read biblical elements into the story. I'm no Christian, so I didn't see that, but, I'm told the signs smack you in the face (I just must have ducked). It is what it is. There are better films out there, but there are worse too. If you're not expecting too much, this one might be pleasing enough. See more Karin F 10/20/2024 This movie could have been amazing. Stellar cast, great premiss but simply loses its focus and becomes boring. Add to that a truly disappointing ending and it just not worth the watch. I'm sad, coz I thought I'd stumbled upon a little gem on Amazon Prime - sadly it runlrned out to be a waste of 90 minutes 😢 See more Phil G 10/01/2024 I often wonder how films like this get made. It happens so often however that there must be numerous and persistent reasons. Starts with an interesting premise, one that is clearly adapted from other stories —definitely had elements of the 'green bugs' from X-Files, which in turn probably had elements from other historical contexts. But then, in its attempt to explain (or not) the story it just flails around. The religious elements weren't needed, not as much as the myriad forms of lighting the cast could have used —but didn't. It seems the story was waiting for your disbelief to unsuspend before the characters started to do some things more sensibly —by which time it all is too late. Another film that could have been far better —as it had all the elements— but something in the execution failed. See more Ash A 08/02/2024 An interesting idea, but poorly executed. Just lazy directing and poorly drafted script. The actors did their best with very little to work with. See more Danger S 03/18/2024 The director and writer may have tried to make the movie broadly applicable, but it's still basically a Christian allegory, made in the same vapid, superficial way most Christian allegories are. Which is disappointing, because I thought The Machinist was really well done. See more Dan D 10/03/2023 Meh movie that isn't really worth the time. See more Read all reviews
