Offers a Christian spin on Shirley Jackson's essentially pagan-ritual story--which is to say that director Michelle MacLaren didn't have anything really new to work with.

File this one under fun while it lasts, but easily forgettable.

...a cut above the majority of its direct-to-video brethren.

O mistério é mais interessante do que sua resolução; ainda assim, a cineasta consegue criar um bom clima conspiratório no melhor estilo Os Invasores de Corpos.

The census taker counts the citizens while the viewer counts the minutes.

Audience Reviews for Population 436

Somewhere between 5-6/10, this one's just about watchable. I was having a tough time when I went for it & thankfully this didn't add fuel to the fire. While it's not exactly the remake of "The Wicker Man," it surely resembles it by & large.

Just your typical small town cult movie, but it was entertaining enough.
