K A @RT67923734 Feb 8, 2026 The movie had an interesting premise and lots of build-up that I was curious for them to explore. But it never happens. It spends a lot of time introducing additional plot points that are never addressed and receive no follow-up. What was the chemical spill in the lake and how did it relate to the murders? Why was so much time spent on that aspect of the story if it didn't seem to matter? Who was the guy we saw at the bar and why couldn't he have been easily tracked by his footprints in the thick snow? I could go on but I'd be here longer than the movie ran identifying all the plot points they never addressed. It honestly comes off as a project to make a movie trailer which was spot-on, but they had no idea where to go with the story and just threw some crap together. Literally everything about the movie was an utter disappointment caused by poor story-telling.

Promising setup-an aspiring documentary filmmaker gathers together the survivors of a quarantined town, all of whom were under the protection of a local crazy preacher (Michael Madsen, slumming it), and takes them all back to Clear Lake (where, of course, they start dying). I'd like to blame the movie's problems on a lack of budget, but I'm not sure Ide (The Ride) and screenwriters Morgan Simpson (Redemption Road) and Geoff Bullens could have pulled this off with A-listers and a Michael Bay-level budget; there's just not enough to the story, and what there is was tired and predictable thirty years ago. Could possibly have some use as a sleep aid, but otherwise avoidable. * 1/2 See more Feb 14, 2014 The story is somewhat interesting yet slow and confusing. The characters are dull and pointless, and the overall plot process is questionable. In the end, it's forgettable brain-fuzz.
