This movie had a somewhat good premise, just needed more. Then again is it not the story of almost every horror movie. They have something that could be good and screw it up with perhaps not enough killing, a story that goes off track or something that just causes the movie to derail. This movie needed more bodies to be killed or course I am a gore fan and while this movie has that it needed more killing. The story has a farm wife that is unfaithful and a very strict farm dad and two kids in tow. Well a meteor or something strikes and gets into the farm's water supply and what it does when consumed is not pleasant. Basically, the entire more though is watching the farmer deteriorate both in body and mind. The son trying to keep his sister from eating or drinking the tainted food and water and his need to escape the farm. Like I said, add a bit more here and there and you have a winner as what happens to the family is rather disturbing. You feel for the boy and wish for him to escape, but you also wish the father would go on a major kill spree too.
