clamrock I watched this movie this weekend and I have to say - I loved it.This movie is about a secret government experiment preformed on unsuspecting people in a small town. The "government" is portrayed as an unassuming white van. When the "government" strikes the van slowly rolls open the side door & we can see some sort of antenna with lights on it. For me - this is the best kind of bad guy - the one that I make up in my imagination. Sure the movie could have shown us the same government types we see in every movie - either suits or military jump suits - but that would be boring.At times the pace of this movie reminded me of "Eraserhead" - with some awkward pauses and short dialog. This enhanced the feel of the small town and slow pace of folks there. What better place to play god? Overall the locations for the movie were interesting and believable. A great part in the movie was the dialog between the old man and Bodecker talking about his TV reception and the humming noise.The movie had just enough gore in it for me - I was not expecting the Hilo to do THAT! The movie ends how most secret government experiments done on the unwilling American people likely end - with no answers for the victims.

evilfiendfromplanet9 This movie is over 100 minutes of boring. Almost nothing happens for the first hour and the viewer is basically treated to "hey, here's life in a small town where people don't do cell phones, internet, or cable TV, isn't that neat?"The actors aren't bad, but they can't overcome a serious lack of script or story telling. It's literally like a camera rolling through a small scenic town for an hour. Oh yeah, there's a slightly spooky van driving through town that nobody seems to notice or care about except for a couple of people. But honestly, nothing really happens and after an hour and ten minutes of this you'll start to realize that no matter how cool the ending could possibly be, it can't justify the slow, agonizing pace of the film. The basic story could be told, even with all the slow building tension you'd ever want, inside of 35 to 40 minutes. There's just not enough meat to the script as it was put onto film to justify an hour and forty minute long movie. It fell apart. I don't bore easily, but I almost couldn't get through this plodding piece of ca-ca. And now, I'm going back to the video store and demanding my money back. And I will make sure to remember never to watch another Tyler Tharpe film ever again, if I can. Unless someone can promise me he's improved his editing skills immensely.

imizrahi2002 50s/60s, anachronistic, low budget style horror film. humans are the monsters. most younger(and enough older)horror film fans will find this disappointing/boring... i think people who praised it did so b/c they're from the same part of the world where it was filmed... d-d-d-d-d dat's all folks... i just learned, after trying to submit the above, that the IMDb folk require 10 lines of text, using no 'junk words'. what are junk words? and that doesn't make my summary 'concise', does it? seriously...there's not a whole lot more to say about this film... and i'm trying to do potential viewers a service. i hope the IMDb personnel understand this... personally, i enjoyed the mood that the setting -- backwoods America -- lent to the overall effect. i guess that's 10 lines...

Michael O'Keefe This Tyler Tharpe Sci-Fi flick flat-lines rapidly in accordance with the story not making much sense and dragging on and on. RETURN IN RED is a little-known military test classification for serious and fatal experiment results. Gloom and doom hangs over a small rural town that has no stop lights, shopping mall, cable TV...let alone Internet service. The residents unknowingly are guinea pigs in an experiment where electromagnetic frequencies play havoc on the human brain. This is a strange mesh of Sci-Fi and horror. One question...what in the hell was the purpose of the 'factory'? It appeared to just be a garage producing or processing nothing. Besides having an irritating whistle it was the site of a bloody gore-fest. Starring: J.J. Huckin, Amy Paliganoff, Michael Ray Reed and Becky Niccum.
