MacLaren’s feature debut often feels like an (overly) extended episode of The X Files, which isn’t really a surprise as the Canadian director formerly worked on the show. But unfortunately, little else about this production is particularly surprising either, which for a horror/mystery film is quite a handicap. Numerology, religious superstition, murder, ritual suicide, and non-consensual cranial surgery combine to form a rather predictable narrative that follows a census taker (Jeremy Sisto) who is assigned to the small town of Rockwell Falls, a town that has had the same population (436) for more than a hundred years. Needless to say, he finds more than he bargained for.
