OHMS

About This Movie

So, 'OHMS' is quite an interesting piece from 1980. It’s a TV movie that captures the tension between rural life and corporate encroachment. The pacing is methodical, allowing you to really soak in the atmosphere of this conservative Midwestern setting. The performances stand out, especially the farmer rallying his community—there's a raw authenticity in how they portray solidarity and resistance. The political activist schoolteacher adds a nice dynamic, pushing the narrative forward. It's not flashy, but the practical effects, like the looming power towers, create this palpable sense of dread. The themes of community against external forces are deeply resonant, making it a reflective watch for those interested in social issues. It kind of lingers with you afterwards, in a good way.
