The third act seemed a little muddled too (the main kid who came back as a ghost/zombie for one shot, then vanished from the film
). Oh yeah, and that ginger kid was godawful! On the plus side, thought the central couple were well characterised, and Linda Hamilton was at her likable best. Think the tension worked best in the opening scenes, deserted villages are always good for generating atmosphere (reminded me of that Dean Koontz adaptation with Ben Affleck - I forget the title
) . . .
