The first (very disturbing) five minutes of this film consists of actual archival footage of the atrocities of war, famine and genocide and is more horrific then most of the scenarios presented in any fictional story.

Well done film with an interesting concept. It is more a thriller than horror. The acting is good and the action is tense. Surely inspired Stephen King's "Children of the Corn" short story.
