Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Mihaela_Lacramioara I'm surprised this movie didn't get more attention. Well done. Set in a creepy little town, you have a feeling of impending doom the whole time.Fred Durst is a great actor, what ever happened to him? The main character, I don't remember his name right now (and don't really feel like clicking back or opening a new page) did a great job as well. He plays the part and keeps the action going.The supporting actress and Megan Fox look-alike is gorgeous. Whatever happened to her and what the heck is up with her hair... wow, she needs to ditch the blonde!!!! Anyway, good thriller that I recommend you watch :)

Parl Guthrie I'm very sorry, I tried to give this movie the benefit of the doubt but it didn't hold my interest. I don't care for movies that remain the same throughout the entire movie and never gives you a feeling of satisfaction at the end.The situations that came up were totally unreal and the characters were so dumb that I thought I was watching something written by a bunch of teenagers. It seemed that nothing good ever happened, and there was no redemption at the end. However, if you like movies containing blank stares, boring scenes, and ends as bad as it started, then by all means this is your kind of movie!

drpakmanrains I'm almost 70 and a bit old for this type of film, but I'm actually a fan of suspense-mystery-thrillers, and while this one was not completely original, it didn't disappoint. First of all, I liked the lack of special effects. The cinematography was beautiful, and while some felt the movie was slow, I appreciated the leisurely pacing. The reviewers keep mentioning similarities to "The Twilight Zone", and "The Wicker Man" (1974 version I hope), and they are right. But it also resembles some aspects of "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers", and the ending was a little like the old EC horror comics of the 50's. They often would lead you in a certain direction, then surprise you at the end with an ironic climax which played against expectation. In this film, the evil doings and religious ignorance the townsfolk display leads the viewer to expect the perpetrators to be exposed and the hero victorious, only to instead find that the townsfolk are pleasing God after all. Tragically amusing! Jeremy Sisto did a fine job as the Census Taker. I haven't seen him since "Grand Canyon" from 1991, where he played a 15 year old. The rest of the cast was satisfactory. I found the script to be intriguing, and while some reviewers found it predictable, I liked how the ending tied all the loose ends together cleverly. Unlike most of the "in your face" sadistic graphic trash that passes for horror films today, this atmospheric suspense film is a very pleasant and entertaining surprise. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and believe it is quite an original story, considering how many movies have been totally derivative in this genre.

Vomitron_G I initially rented this one just to have a laugh with Fred"I've got a lot of friends"Durst (you must know him, this guy's the lead singer of Limp Bizkit). But I ended up liking this movie a lot more then I thought I would. It's a pretty decent 'small town with a dark secret' mystery/horror/thriller. And the ending, to me, was satisfying (though an alternative ending is to be found on the disc's extras also, but I found it less effective). Nice cinematography too. Jeremy Sisto was great and it was a nice surprise to see that even Fred Durst is capable to put down a decent performance. Don't expect to see gore or fast-paced action. If you do, then look elsewhere, because "Population 436" moves at a rather slow (but ultimately satisfying) pace. The mystery is intriguing. You'll probably think of a few other movies when you watch this one, but fortunately, those too were all good ones. And so is Population 436 (to be taken a bit more serious then stuff like "2001 Maniacs", for example)
