A remake of an original Twilight Zone 1960s episode, written by Rod Serling. Andrew McCarthy plays a man whose neighborhood erupts into chaos and paranoia
when communication with the outside world is cut off. Titus plays Dylan, one of those neighbors. And in one of his better "needs-anger-management-moments," leads the angry mob of neighbors against the reclusive family at the end of the block.
*************
A Maple St. neighborhood meeting erupts into chaos when an explosion rocks the street and all the power goes out. The neighborhood's fear and paranoia of terrorism soon leads them to suspect a foreign family, the only one with a working vehicle and power. Despite one neighbor, Will, trying to keep the situation under control, the discovery of spy cameras soon turns the others into a mob and wreck the family. And we cut back and discover the military is conducting a series of civilian tests to determine how people will react to threats of terrorism.
Dylan: Nobody moves in the middle of the night.
Will: Maybe they moved from far away.
Dylan: Yeah, like . . .
Will: Like Iowa.
