The sinister rubberneckers from Ray Bradbury’s “The Crowd” get a theological twist in this horror picture starring Christina Ricci. Our heroine is an amnesiac temporarily adopted by a woman who ran into her with a car. As she strays around the village, she starts to notice two things: something really bad is about to happen, and several odd people seem to be standing around waiting for the disaster. Meanwhile, excavations at an uncovered church from the first century start to reveal … well, why spoil the surprise? Though the logic is a bit strained in points, overall this was a lot more entertaining than most things I randomly record off the movie channels. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
