Population 436

A slow-burn mystery/horror film that takes its time and keeps things relatively realistic, much like its cult favorites "The Wicker Man" and "Apostle". With a confident pace, it explores themes of legalism, isolation, and the darker side of small-town life. The film stars Jeremy Sisto as a census taker investigating a town with an inexplicable constant population of 436, where everyone is seemingly trapped in a sinister cycle.
