At first I thought it was just my attitude that was lame. So I tried at first to take the movie lightly, then I tried to over think it and wonder if its just a very smart movie. And so I walked out the theater and everybody all agreed that the movie really really sucked! HAHAHA It does!!! All the characters are annoying! Its one of those movies that you'd want to be in so you could slap the hell out of those people. My money and sanity vanished in the dark while watching this!!! I can't believed I need to write 10 lines before IMDb could post this review! This movie does not deserve a 10-line review! A sentence would be sufficient at how it badly sucked!

Everyone is droning on about the lack of an explanation. The movie does not answer "Why" but enough is given to allow viewers their own interpretation. Personally i don't see this as poor writing, but intentional. They tell you that it's all random, if you accept that then you'll enjoy yourself. Where this movie shines is in its shadows. The atmosphere is captivating and suspenseful, the viewer is immersed in the characters desperate need for light and the will to survive. The shadow effects/creatures are amazingly well done and unique. If you are a fan of "The Light versus Shadows" genre, such as Pitch Black and Darkness Falls, this is a good addition.

In Detroit, there is a power outage in the Fairlane Center interrupting the screening of the film in the movie theater. When the projector operator Paul (John Leguizamo) looks at the audience, everybody has vanished and there is only clothing on the seats. Then he walks on the mall and finds only empty clothing on the alleys. Meanwhile the field reporter Luke (Hayden Christensen) awakes and when goes to work, he sees that everybody has vanished everywhere and there are only abandoned cars and empty clothing on the streets. Sooner Luke finds that Detroit is plunged in a pitch black and shadows are chasing the survivors. When Luke sees an illuminated bar, he goes in the place and meets the boy James (Jacob Latimore) with a shotgun. Sooner the physiotherapist Rosemary (Thandie Newton) joins the trio and together they try to keeps the environment lit to survive. "Vanishing on 7th Street" is a film that deceives the viewer with the intriguing and promising first ten minutes. However, the mystery remains but the story becomes monotonous and repetitive, with stupid situations like Rosemary shooting Luke, Paul kicking the generator or James leaving Luke in the truck and running to the church. The story has no conclusion or explanation about the darkness and I was really deceived by the first ten minutes of this disappointing flick. My vote is two. Title (Brazil): "Mistério na Rua 7" ("Mystery on the 7th Street")

Good concept and pulls you in quickly. There was no explanation of what caused people to disappear, why the shadows were hunting those left alive and the end left no conclusions. To me this is a great way to tell the story because you can relate and feel what the characters in the movie felt, they didn't know why it happened or have any explanation and we as the audience were able to take a walk in their shoes, not all mysteries can be explained. The musical score in the background was repetitive and after a few times of it looping it lost it's spooky factor. I think the main thing that baffled me was the fact that they did not use fire more. Your in a bar with wood furniture and gallons of flammable materials, get a fire going not to mention all the gasoline left in the thousands of abandoned cars. The used one torch and a few candles when they could have kept a bonfire going pretty much indefinitely. Overall not a bad movie and as a fan of the apocalyptic style movies I enjoyed it. Gave it a 7/10
