This films needs to be rediscovered

One of the things I like about The trigger effect is that it doesn't try to fool the audience. It's not one of the many dumb movies with plots that go nowhere or characters so utterly uninteresting.
In this film Koepp tries to explore the thin line that separates order from chaos, but at the same time it's about a couple on the verge of crisis. When the bigger crisis hits (lack of electrical power) the less crucial one (the marriage) doesn't loose its poignancy, it just perfectly blends with the overall plot.
A thing that I most appreciate is that the blackout is never given an explanation, because we as an audience don't need one at all. It's a trick or gimmmick used masterly by Hitchcock, known as McGuffin (Why did the birds attack?). In fact, we could say that the real story concerns the trio of protagonist and its relations, and that the blackout is just the McGuffin (when asked what was a McGuffin Hitch used to say it was a weapon to kill lions in the Adindoracks. To which everyone said, but there are no lions in those mountains! To which Hitch would respond: Exactly).
So I would say that this movie, The trigger effect does what Spielberg in his early years (Duel, Jaws, Close encounters) and Hithcock did, put ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. It's the oldest trick in the book, yet it works wonders. There are no action scenes as we come to expect in movies nowadays, no stupid comic relief. Just three people caught in a world without lights or just a couple of men (one blue collar the other white collar) fighting for the same woman?
It's so many things, and that's why the general public should give it this film another try. It's worth it
