Combustion

About This Movie

So, 'Combustion' is one of those interesting TV movies from 2004 that really has this gritty, small-town vibe. Scott Daniels, an engineer, gets drawn into this unsettling mystery of fires in Millwood City. There’s a real tension in the air as he tries to untangle the mess while dealing with family drama—his son, Jesse, really adds a layer with his teenage rebellion and the whole faking sickness to meet his girlfriend plot. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but there's a certain charm in its practical effects. And the performances, while not award-winning, have a kind of earnestness that keeps you engaged. It’s not groundbreaking, but it has a distinct atmosphere that feels like a blend of low-budget action and personal stakes.
