Population 436 DVD Report


Print: Good - Sound: Good - Label: Pariah - Cover: Good - Format: 1.78:1 - Length: 1h28m/1h26m - Before: No - Again: No - Price: £1 - Rating: 6/10.

In Population 436, a US census taker, Steve Kady (Jeremy Sisto) has to assess the population in a remote mountain community, Rockwell Falls, but becomes trapped in this town full of golden rules that don't allow its population to drop below or exceed 436 citizens, a number in accordance with Gods Law.

No-one is ever to leave Rockwell Falls and that the town citizens will do whatever it takes to maintain the status quo, after fending off a lobotomy and pretending to go along with the program, the Steve tries to escape. Will the population finally be altered?

Population 436 is OK as a mystery movie, but I can't help feeling would it make a better episode of the TV show such as the X-Files? It had a reasonable start and a good ending, but seemed a little stretched in the middle! Not too bad though.

Here is the trailer...
