Real-life brothers Alex Pastor and David Pastor write and direct this apocalyptic chiller, which co-stars Christopher Meloni.

Review:

An gripping, character driven, bleak, haunting and devastating psychological/virus/drama that was brutally realistic. This was definitely a slow burner when it came to pace but the solid performances, some creepy and tense moments kept me interested. Sure there could of been more horror elements added to make it even more horrific and to speed things up and there were a couple of plot holes here and there but there was a pretty good novel effort to be found in here and the filming kind of had an vintige, low budget feel that made everthing realistic. Don't be fooled by the cover this is not a horror movie but more of a unsettling drama about human condition, survival and the end of humanity and a decent one at that. Overall this is not a must see and is more of a rental but if you like movies dealing with viruses I recommend it because it's one of the smarter ones out there right now.
