Odd horror feature

I think the main issue here is the extremely brief running time. So much happens straight -away, and so little is explained. We don't really feel connected to our protagonist. Of course he saw his parents die as a young boy, and fast forward to the present day, where everyone is his Parisian neighborhood prepares for a comet to pass close to the earth. There's good ideas, it's well made, but so much falls off and disappears. Nice photography and use of special effects, but little to grasp. That said, the acting is fine and horror fans might find a little to separate this from the pack. A pretty, but middling doomsday chiller.

Well worth watching

At firsts I had no expectations for this movie. I really thought it was going to be another low budget B-Movie. You know, the usual bad acting mostly attributed to very poor directing. To my surprise this was certainly not the case. The plot on the other hand was a lot better than most Horror/Sci-Fi movies. It was simple and somewhat silly, but at least it was not complex and full of a bunch of impossible scenarios. I would recommend this movie for any who likes laid back and not too graphic movies in this genre. Especially on a stay at home date night. Fabian Wolfrom made this film significantly better than it actually is. This is the first time I have ever seen this actor and he has made a lasting impression on me.
