As a made for TV movie this was quite entertaining, plot pretty predictable after first 15 minutes but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Acting was good, quite a few familiar faces and film seemed to chug along quite nicely. However, the whole thing was completely let down by last ten minutes with a bunch of inconsistencies (e.g. female lead manages to conveniently find a change of clothes, cigarettes and a lighter) and a complete lack of explanation of some of the main issues of the film, how did the old people keep their youth and what exactly did they do with the people they killed to do this? Films that leave questions are no bad thing, but it felt that either a proper ending hadn't been written or more likely the ending had been edited down so much as to cease to make sense. Real let down at the end, otherwise interesting premise.
