This is a GEM of a horror flick. A very unique take on infectious viruses, the enemy you can't see. Language and the words you choose to use, as a killer, are pretty on par with a lot of real-world problems today, whether it's in the political landscape or the way we speak to each other, frivolously throwing words about with no real thought to how it affects others. Brilliant. This movie makes it very clear you dont need a big budget to make a masterful horror flick as long as you have an interesting storyline, a good script, and great actors.
To say this movie is original isn’t doing it justice. There’s a solid movie in here, but it doesn’t make a lot of sense and it’s a little convoluted. I enjoyed watching it. I’d probably never watch it again and I probably wouldn’t recommend this to people, but it did try to do something different.
Excited to see this movie on here havent seen it in a while. Recommend a watch. weird and different
cool movie. dead air is a better version of this movie tho imo
I love this take on the zombie genre! Amazing from start to finish!
