This is one of those movies where the trailer was more entertaining than the movie. The acting wasn't all that bad. The budget for the suits was non-existent. Great premise that just fizzled out as it dragged itself towards the credits that were the highlight of the movie as you knew it was FINALLY OVER.

It started off OK, building up the suspense. I was just a bit amazed that the producers opted for gluing the doors shut ? In reality it would've taken a tonne of glue a lot manpower and tonne of patience to get that right. But I digress, I enjoyed the first half of the film, but then it seemed to stop moving and felt like it was spinning its wheels. Then I realized that there weren't any monsters or aliens, just sick people being treated in a manner that is absurd. Just look how the Ebola virus was handled last year as a case in point.

Anyway - the only movie I can compare this too, is the crazies, but that was WAY BETTER.

There are only 2 types of movies I submit reviews of, those that are THAT bad, or THAT good. I'm sure from the above (and the rating, you can guess which kind of movie this is).
