Director : Brad Anderson
Running Time : 88 mins
Following a major blackout in Detroit, the entire population mysteriously vanishes, leaving behind nothing but the clothes on their backs. The only people unaffected are those carrying sources of light, which seem to protect them from the shadows, and four survivors lead by television reporter Luke Ryder (Christensen) try their best to find out what happened to their friends and loved ones.
This movie feels like yet another lost opportunity, with a creepy concept almost ruined by bad acting. Christensen does no favours to the limited script, with supporting cast members Newton and Lequizamo trying their best to breathe life into this movie which is eventually completely ruined by the two annoying kids. Throw in that there is no real explanation for why the shadows are taking people (other than an allusion to some old folk tale by Leguizamo), and this was really disappointing.
