    • Trivia
      Every clock you see in the movie, except for Steve's travel alarm clock, is set to 4:36. Early in the movie, one of the townspeople stops a clock and sets it to 4:36. Stopping clocks when someone dies is an older tradition.
    • Goofs
      At the beginning of the film a baby is born, and when there is a close-up of the newborn it has a bellybutton. A newborn baby would still have part of an umbilical cord, revealing the baby is actually older.

    Shockingly Decent Film You've Never Heard Of
    Jeremy Sisto plays a census bureau guy, sent to Rockwell Falls (named after the guy who sings "Somebody's Watching Me") to see why they've had the same population for 100 years in a row. But the people of the town have other plans for Jeremy.

    I started watching this movie as one of my "luck of the draw" picks, not expecting much after the never-ending influx of poor crud I get to see all the time. But this film was good, actually good, and most shockingly: it was good because of Fred Durst, the frontman for rap-rock group Limp Bizkit.

    Durst plays the town police officer, and does such a fine job of being cordial and friendly in one scene and emotional in another. Who knew he had it in him to be anything besides violent or obnoxious? Not to downplay Sisto's part, but Durst really stole the show with this one.

    "Population 436" offers a blend of paranoia, numerology, isolation, entrapment and a little bit of romance. You won't get any gore, and you're not going to see nude vixens running around. But you will get a unique story. Sure, you have to ignore the obvious (like why the town is so isolated in 2006) but that's not as difficult as you might think because this film makes you want to believe.

    Just watch it. Watch what lengths the town will go to in order to keep its population set firmly at 436. Somewhat bizarre, but completely believable.
