Review: The Trigger Effect

A real intriguing movie - I watched it a long time back - didn't remember the name though. I searched all online resources for this movie but no luck. This afternoon I came across the new movie search on Google and gave it a shot by generally describing the theme "power outage" and lo and behold, here it is.

If anyone of you come across this in the tv programs listings, let me know so I can watch it again.
