It's a pretty good story when you get down to the idea of the US doing nuclear test and small town folk refusing to leave. It's also known to have made a few technical achievements i.e. when the green light flashes directly into the camera for cuts. Ted Levine is one my favorite actors, mainly becuse of Monk, but also cause he can never play anything other then a cop, lol.
Rent it, Watch it and make up your own mind. Even the worse movies of all times still have a few good bits.
