Watch Population 436 For Free

I love this movie so much

Great Film overall

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Very average low budget movie about Census Agency agent stuck in your typical American rural town with crazy locals keeping their secrets, where sheriff just says "we have our own laws here". This one has a permanent population number of 436, hence the title. The origins of the mystery behind it are explained poorly and sound absurd (also, what "wicked man"?). You get the feeling "I watched all these scenes somewhere already and know all these dialogues" while watching the movie, all the cliches and dumb decisions are there.What's the real mystery is how Fred Durst ended up here, who plays a deputy sheriff. It's actually his only role in the movie which he didn't direct himself (not counting TV series). I didn't know about his involvement with the production of this film and seeing him here was a surprise.It's an OK rental if you have nothing else to watch, it actually feels looks and feels like a TV movie. The orchestral soundtrack is pleasant to listen.

The story follows Steve Kady(Sisto) as a census taker who stumbles into a small town called 'Rockwell Falls', town where the population has stayed the same for over a 100 years. I was very pleased with this movie, although it is similar to, for example "The Wickerman" with Cage, this film does not have big budget, celebrities or special effects. Its' core is a unique story. Jeremy Sisto is good actor, He was having an okay role here, role of just an ordinary guy who came to a small town which has 436 habitants since 1860 or so. The plot actually is very predictable, what you can see even in the beginning of the movie, woman giving birth, then that scene is just inter-cut with a scene that sees a man killed in a car accident. Even when they accept Kady as "one of their" they have to kill another woman from the village to keep its' population exactly at 436.

I must say that reading the plot synopsis, I had high expectations from Population 436. The main gist and idea of the story sounded original and promising, plus I've never had the chance to see Fred Durst act outside Limp Bizkit's music videos.Unfortunately, the film didn't follow through. The main idea was the only thing original about it, everything else was cliché to the point of boredom. The turning of events was predictable and seemed uninspired, the characters were replicas of other characters from other such films (like The Village), and even what some might call "the twist" was obvious and without any surprises. As Horror fans, when we're able to anticipate the next move, it means the film isn't that good, that's my personal opinion.As for the acting? Charlotte Sullivan was beautiful, and that was the only thing that shined above others. The rest were regular actors with regular acting, Fred Durst was nothing special, and neither was the cinematography. I personally feel that this film really didn't live up to the potential it had, which is unfortunate.All in all? The film was fun to watch, the characters were relatable and the story managed to get you emotionally involved. But not in any way better than thousands of films I could have watched instead. So I guess this film is recommended to those who haven't yet had much experience with the Horror genre, or that aren't looking for anything special but rather just something to kill 85 minutes.

A census-taker arrives to examine why the city always have a population of 436. I thought okay cool bring me the story. And nothing really happened.The perfect place in the world. Then you ask yourself why half the citizens needs to be "persuaded" to stay there. Then the big question is how. Unfortunately you know what roles people will have and how the end will be 5 minutes into the movie. Why do a city without crime and 436 citizens have 3 people in the sheriff staff?At a time in the movie the hero finds a book about numerology amongst other occult books. Then I thought now they will maybe let us look deeper into the villages secrets. But still nothing happened. No occultism or anything just shallow surfaces on smiling people.Some reviewers mention it is good for a low budget movie. But honestly the script only is good for 15 minutes, so it should have been plenty of money.In this movie there is no suspense and no meaningful story really. acting is not that bad though, but you are really not interested if any of them die or survive the movie.
