THE TWILIGHT ZONE HOMAGE...
Did anyone else notice the Homage to "THE TWILIGHT ZONE" in this film? There's a part where Koep Zooms in on a street post. One street's name is Whilloughby(excuse my spelling). The other's is Maple St. These of course are the names of two streets in two classic episodes of the Zone. "Next Stop, Whilloughby". Where a man gets on a train that takes him back to witness his youth. And, "The Monsters are do on Maple St." One of my absolute Favorites, and the episode which I think inspired this movie to an extent, in which a suburban neighborhood looses its electricity among other modern capabilities for an entire day. The neighbors, who are all normally friends, begin to accuse each other of being from another planet. I love that he threw the streets in there the way he did. I noticed it immediately. Rod Serling would be proud. The Trigger Effect is a very underrated film that shows the limits of human civility when put to the test.
