I often wonder about IMDb ratings. Like, how can someone give a movie a nine (like I did), and other reviewers, watching the same movie give it one. What do they expect??? The story was at least plausible, the acting was good, the direction, the camera work were all fine. I would never write a review about something I am not interested in. I suppose I could just consider them all crap and rate them a one. But I leave the rating to people that have an interest in that particular genre. All in all this is a pretty good effort. It was a TV movie for gods sake. It wasn't meant to resemble a Hollywood greenscreen action flick. If you want to pick holes, check out the latest Hollywood blockbuster at you local cinema.

This film is bloody brilliant.Simply, coinciding with a music festival at Rock Island,a couple stumble upon a body in a tunnel that leads to the island. The tunnel however begins at AVP a research facility that has been creating diseases etc. as weapons. The couple get onto the island and then all hell breaks loose as the infection breaks loose.The cast is terrific, and includes some of my favourite Aussie actors such as Grant Bowler, Damian Walshe-Howling and Vince Colosimo. All perform well.The writers surely had some fun with this, and I loved the not so subtle attacks on the NSW government, politics and politician in general, and on big business, and how they can both get away with anything yet are obviously the cause of or ignorant to the problems faced by the people.A thoroughly enjoyable film, and my only complaint is that its wasn't longer! This would have been terrific as a mini series!

Pathetic, obviously no research went into this especially how they conducted the autopsy, a grade 4 and they autopsies the way they did.Only 2 police officers on the island to control crowd with. Few security officers, pathetic. Gee how did the bloke get into the tunnel without infecting anyone else on the mainland. Crap ending, another pathetic oz movie. Lots of discrepancies. We took the mickey out of it all the way through. Low budget, C grade acting, the pits. Low budget, worthless entertainment. Come on win you can do better than this. The story line was nothing and predictable. These type of virus movies have been round for years
