The Carrier (1988)
2/10
curiosity killed the cat
23 January 2011
I've found this flick at a flea market on DVD. But the quality on the DVD was surely coming from a VHS rip. A guy accused of killing his parents becomes an outsider. One night out of the blue he's being attacked at home by some kind of Sasquatch. He's being scratched by it and get infected by it, he shoots to the creature which disappeared just as it came. What attacked him is never explained. He becomes the carrier of a weird disease. The director Nathan J. White only made 2 flicks, Hellmaster and this low budget. Even most of the actors played only in this one. Nonetheless, it takes only 10 minutes before something happens so that was the good news but sadly it's the downward spiral from then on. You just see people react on the effect of the disease, you know they are melting but it is never shown. After a while the town goes crazy and suddenly they all need to find cats. They even start killing each other for a cat. One of the attacks you can hear someone scream, "Get the children and the cats inside", man, what is this! It's all about running and wearing plastic, strange flick but I 'carried' boredom from it.
