All but a handful of people vanish when the power goes out. This is a Motown mix of Dark City (1998), Phantoms (1998), and Genesis. A small group of people struggle to keep the advancing darkness, and the figures within the darkness, from snatching them leaving clothes and possessions behind. Throughout the movie various references are made so that when the movie ends you will understand the Genesis comparison. At first I had those wonderful goosepimplies running over my body but after about 30 minutes my attention started to wander a bit. A series of character flashbacks tend to break any build-up in the tension in addition to a 'I'm going to count to 3!' overtone that draws out into 'two and a half.... two and two thirds...' that really worked against an already thin storyline (I mean come on.. the generator is dying for 2/3rds of the movie). This may work for you if you don't watch many movies and want something mildly spooky that may stick with you for a little while.
