A creepy van hangs around an isolated community pointing a radar dish out at them to send them mad. I liked the premise but for the first 60 minutes nothing more exciting happens than an elderly gentleman having his television aerial adjusted. In the meantime people trudge back and forth from a factory lit like something from a Dickens novel.I was disappointed because at first this movie looks like it's going to be pretty good but you're waiting and waiting for something to happen but it doesn't until the last ten minutes. The end does however feature a hilariously bad effect involving a forklift and what looks like a blow-up doll that may raise a chuckle. I was also amused by the newspaper headline which read "some people found dead in local factory". That's another scoop for the daily unspecific.This could have been a great movie but the preoccupation with dimly lit factories, bankrupt coffee shops and shift patterns didn't do it for me.

I got a kick out of the dark factory scenes. I worked in factories when I was young and they were all lit up, but they felt as dark as the one here. My favorite role, the old guy with TV problems; freakiest role, the mom who can't be reached; most endearing role, the daughter of the old guy; most sympathetic role, the guy who has to bum rides to his job. I thought the other actors were good too. Anyone who's been a grunt will recognize the perennially angry cigarette-smoking foreman. The deleted portions included on the DVD were lively and some of them added to the story and made me wish they'd been included in the movie. A couple things didn't make sense to me, but neither did the fact that I nearly got creamed by a tow truck that drove onto the sidewalk while I was walking home from work tonight. Moody, weird, tells a story ... I liked it.

50s/60s, anachronistic, low budget style horror film. humans are the monsters. most younger(and enough older)horror film fans will find this disappointing/boring... i think people who praised it did so b/c they're from the same part of the world where it was filmed... d-d-d-d-d dat's all folks... i just learned, after trying to submit the above, that the IMDb folk require 10 lines of text, using no 'junk words'. what are junk words? and that doesn't make my summary 'concise', does it? seriously...there's not a whole lot more to say about this film... and i'm trying to do potential viewers a service. i hope the IMDb personnel understand this... personally, i enjoyed the mood that the setting -- backwoods America -- lent to the overall effect. i guess that's 10 lines...

A well made,shot on film, rurally made, in the best sense, sci fi horror, conspiracy movie. It moves at a pace that makes the shocks when they come quite effective, though the slow build may at times be a bit tedious the pay off it worth it. The music and sound work are very important, there are good twists and a powerful directness to the ending. Sound especially! The themes of the movie obviously calls for good sound work. The pace is deliberate, seems like you can't escape from certain scenes and you know something bad is going to happen.Has the feel of a film like "RABID." The locations and acting are totally convincing and really put you in the small town under a strange form of assault. Has the feel also of BREAKFAST AT THE MANCHESTER MORGUE. Though this is not a gore fest.Those who want everything explained will be left cold, but the film makes sense within it's own logic. The isolation feel of the movie is pretty powerful and this is creepy disturbing stuff. There is gore and it's well done but that's a small element to the film.Very effective little movie, occasionally just a bit dullish in the middle, but worth a look for any serious fan of the genre, and some of it will linger with you long after it's over.
