Half a movie.......

The setup of "The Wicksboro Incident" is quite good. An old guy, supposedly an electrical engineer who in the 1950s worked on a secret government project hidden away in a bunker, in the small town of Wicksboro Texas. His story is that he is the sole survivor of a government cover-up and that Wicksboro vanished after he fled. The return to Wicksboro by the old man and two documentary filmmakers reveals that there is no evidence remaining, and the entire town, along with the clandestine project is gone. Eventually a startling discovery is made. Using divining rods they locate and uncover the old underground laboratory. It is at this point that the wheels come off, and the story degenerates into nonsense, most of it with a hand held camera at night. The first half would make an interesting episode of the History Channel's "U.F.O. Hunters", the second half will do nothing more than induce headaches. - MERK
