A total waste of time.

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 2004)

This movie has great actors in it but unfortunately they're trapped in a terrible script. There are no chills or frills in this film. The dialogue at times is awful. William Hurt is a disaster in this movie. He's stuck spouting words that don't seem to fit any time period. I expected to be shocked or startled at least once instead I had to fight to stay awake. The villagers follow a group of elders led by Hurt. They seem to live an existance much like the Amish. There are continual town meetings and other monotonous dialogue. All that really happens in the film are conversations. The most gripping part of the entire film is when one of the villagers is stabbed. I think the director was trying to match the intrigue of the Twilight Zone series. However he completely fails. This movie is by far this year's worst film. I give it a big fat F.
