elvisquigley81 population 436 was a movie that you would see on the shelf at blockbuster and say that it looks terrible but if you give it a chance it is a very well made and enjoyable film.it sucks now that blockbusters gone just for the fact that no one knows about these straight to DVD films anymore and a lot of the time nowadays,they are made better than a big budget picture.i really liked this movie and if your a thriller/horror buff you will enjoy this movie.kind of feels like watching one of those classic horrors from the 70s and 80s,eerie at times and an overall creepy feel.jeremy sisto was excellent as a lead character and hope to see in more leading roles.

WakenPayne While traveling to Rockwell Falls in an assignment of the US Census Bureau, the surveyor from Chicago Steve Kady has two flat tires nearby the small town. The local Deputy Bobby Caine brings him to the town and the Mayor Grateman lodges him in a farm, where the gorgeous Courtney Lovett lives with her mother. Steve finds that Rockwell Falls, considered by the locals as the most perfect place on Earth, has the same population since 1860 and sooner he discloses the meaning and the dark secret of their creed of solidarity and steadfastness. Now I Really Think This Movie Was Horrible Because It Was Too Far Fetched The Whole 436 Suits God I Mean I Respect All Religions As I Have So Oftenly Claimed But That Is Utterly Ridiculos.Out Of The 3 Things I Look For In Movies This Only Succeeded Partially In All Of Them & They Are Dialogue, Acting & Character Development; For The Character Development It Was All For Charlotte Sullivan Who For Some Reason In Her First Scene I Mistook Her For Jennifer Connely...I Know Weird, The Dialogue Was Good Because During A Channel Flick Night I Came Across Another Christianity Horror & It Used Dialogue From A Grandfather Who Was Also A Killer "Did You Think You Could Escape The Love Of Our Lord Jesus Christ?" I AM NOT PULLING YOUR LEG! So If There Was Any Shitfilled Dialogue In This Movie I Was Immune, For Acting Some Of The Actors Were Believable I Forget Which Ones But They Were There.This Is Not My Sort Of Horror Movie But If Anyone Has Nothing Else To Watch Then I Suggest To Go Ahead.

Rathko 'Population 436' tells the story of a Federal census taker visiting the small, rural community of Rockwell Falls to investigate the cause of its never-changing population. Featuring a citizenry of grinning simpletons practicing strange religious rights to protect their way of life, the movie is part 'The Wicker Man', part 'The Stepford Wives'. It comes as no surprise to find that director Michelle Maxwell MacLaren was a producer on 'The X-Files'—the film plays like an extended TV episode with a central mystery that could very well have been investigated by Mulder and Scully. Except it would have been better written and directed. 'Population 436' is pretty dull, made-for-television fare, largely devoid of any real drama or suspense and containing nothing to warrant its R-rating. The most shocking thing about it is the revelation that Fred Durst can act.

panospcm Population 436 shines most of the times. Jeremy Sisto delivers again. His performance is very convincing, (I also loved him in One Point O). He is a very likable guy, quite subtle in his reactions but certainly respectable. Also, the rest of the cast gets the job done.Plotwise, its a very though-provoking film, integrated with a not-so-casual ending. I wouldn't call it a twist but surely it canceled my low expectations and made my exhilaration about the movie greater. Not much in the thrilling aspect there. It offers a couple of moments where you may be scared or feel uncomfortable, but only if you are really sensitive :) Also, I wouldn't call it exactly a problem but the pacing sometimes goes slower that you'd expect. Most of it though it's entertaining and keeps you guessing for clues and twists.A strangely entertaining movie with an otherworldly passing wind.It will satisfy your lust to think, doubt and sympathize with the characters.Pop/436 certainly falls in the Drama/Mystery/Thriller genre. The only horror aspect this film could touch is, the fear someone might have for the unknown.If you liked Twin Peaks and/or the Twilight Zone then, this is no exception.Don't forget to keep an open mind for this one and you will be greatly rewarded. :-D
