Paul, a projectionist in a Detroit theater, is reading about the 16th century disappearance of the Roanoke Colony when the lights suddenly go out.
Back at the bar, the generator runs low on fuel causing the lights to flicker. I agree that the ending can be understood in a way that makes it seem cheesy - I interpreted it differently and so for me it was satisfying. James cowers in the church under the glow of candles which slowly start to burn out.

I give it a C. I rated this one with 3 out of 10 to pay my respects to the acting crew. I didn't understand the ending or the shadow people etc. Anderson supplies a certain amount of style and energy in his direction. Then he walks on the mall and finds only empty clothing on the alleys. Sometimes. Vanishing on 7th Street is not a great movie, but it's far better than many other genre films.
After waking up to an empty city Luke (Christensen) and a small group of survivors try to find a way to escape. It's hard to remember the last time a potent, eerie mood piece fit this much terror within its walls - both physically and psychologically.
