I cant believe all the 1 and 2 star reviews because of the "ending". For starters, this movie is actually GOOD. The acting is well done and the story keeps you sucked in. You really want tom and will to find sam. Of course we have no idea what is actually happening here. Is it a ww3? Is it aliens? Or is it just the end of times? Just watch the movie and feel for the characters. Dont worry about the ending to this movie. Its not a bad ending by any means. There is a lot of build up to get to the end, and yes, the ending isn't some huge climactic ending but subtle and fits the movie.

I have to say I went into watching this movie blind. I went to my local best buy and they had this on blu ray for 6.99 so i picked it up because the synopsis intrigued me. I honestly never heard or read the novel by Jack Ketchum and if I had the choice i would have read it first. This movie just grabs you by the balls and doesn't let go. something about this film and its realism that shocked me. the weird thing about it is i can sit through tons of horror and thriller movies and never wince or feel real terror like i did watching this film. the acting was amazing, as much as i hated the main character ray pye, he just had this affect on me to continue watching. there were several times i wanted to shut it off because i couldn't take anymore but i stuck through to the end. the only thing that disappointed me was the abrupt ending but im sure if i read the novel first i wouldn't have been. still an incredible emotional impacting film.
