Vanishing on 7th Street - Average apocalyptic horror thriller 

Um, don't really know how I can expand on the title. Four strangers wake up to find the world's population has disappeared and only their clothes remain. If that wasn't spooky enough, those `bad ghosts' from the Patrick Swayze film of the same name have finally got themselves another gig and keep coming out of the dark to make a grab for our dumbfounded heroes. Only staying in the ever diminishing light can save them.

It's a good premise and the cast do well enough with the dialogue that's given to them. Plus there are some moments of genuine creepiness.

It's quite an open-ended story. If you don't mind your films not giving too much away (yes, even after the credits roll) then you won't be too disappointed.

I've read what other people have said on this film and some have read biblical elements into the story. I'm no Christian, so I didn't see that, but, I'm told the signs smack you in the face (I just must have ducked).

It is what it is. There are better films out there, but there are worse too. If you're not expecting too much, this one might be pleasing enough.

6/10 May just keep you awake if Freddy Kruger was haunting your nights
