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")
