A novel if earnest cross-genre thriller.
An ambitious next-generation spin on the found-footage genre, Population Zero starts out like an indie version of a true-crime TV news magazine and turns into a horror-tinged drama with a topical slant.
Population Zero edges towards disappointing its audience, but is interesting enough in its early stages to make it a worthwhile watch, and certainly one of the better mock-documentaries you will come across.
The stiffness could be forgiven if the story were intriguing -- or even if Pinder and Levin were commenting on the format somehow -- but there's nothing here. I have no idea why this movie exists.
Eerie imagery, building suspense and a cleverly executed sense of dread help move the film along from a standard doco to having the trimmings of a straight-up horror film.
Levins' photography is beautiful as always, even when he has clearly had very little time to set up.
if the story that Pinder pursues seems incredible, nonetheless he uses his experimental form to expose a different kind of truth that is actually very close to his interests as a documentarian.
