The creepy ambience established by Tammi and co. dissipates as what goes on within it loses its grip, and the overly dense plotting takes precedence.

The kids are alright! Longtime RUE MORGUE contributor Jeff Szpirglas turns his critical duties over to his brood for one of Wes Craven's more family-friendly features.
A horror-drama that employs the framework of the zombie/infected subgenre and its traditional themes to potent and timely ends.
Trying to make sense of it distracts somewhat from the terrific atmosphere the filmmakers conjure up.
The more the movie tries to explain its plot, the more ridiculous it becomes, climaxing with a protracted chase-and-fight of the type we’ve seen dozens (hundreds?) of times before.
