I say almost everyone because there are a few survivors who spend the rest of the film working out what went wrong. Is is the Rapture? Or a big screen version of Doctor Who’s Silence in the Library? Hayden Christensen, Thandie Newton and John Leguizamo are on hand to answer that question, and there’s a new clip just released.
We saw the film at Toronto and you can read our review here, it appears that an intriguing premise and a couple of effective scares are let down by a slightly flat script but you’ll soon get the chance to judge for yourselves. Opening in the US in a limited run on the 18th of February and appearing on Video On Demand a little earlier, no word on when we’ll see it this side of the pond, but I’m a sucker for trips to any kind of Twilight Zone, so I’ll be certain to check this out as soon as I can.

Saw it on VOD, it has that great tone that The Machinst had. It’s true the writing is the problem but Brad Anderson’s filming is
intriguing. The actors tried their best with what was handed them but Hollywood desperately need better writers!
