Vanishing On 7Th Street

latest theatrical release is “Vanishing on 7th Street” starring Hayden Christensen and Thandie Newton. Set in the already half-abandoned city of Detroit, the film takes place after a massive power outage apparently makes the majority of people disappear, leaving only piles of clothes. A few survivors gather in a tavern and figure out that it’s the darkness itself that is making people vanish.  Sure we’ve seen these themes before, the rag tag bunch of survivors fighting an unknown foe in “The Mist” or the concept of darkness itself as a monster in “Darkness Falls,” but I am optimistic that with Anderson at the helm this film will be another animal entirely.
