Another film about an epidemic that spreads at an alarming rate infecting the entire world population, only it is not a virus but a parasite that takes control of its carriers.For a film of this type is a bit slow, and it seemed to be more a drama in a scenario of the beginning of an epidemic than a film about the epidemic, although it is also present there but little or nothing developed as to its origin. What seems unreal to me is that the said parasite makes the carriers blind but gives them supernatural force. As the main characters are stupid teenagers we have to expect the usual stupid behaviors on the part of said stupid teenagers, like breaking the mandatory curfew to go to a party and having the possibility of someone infected transforming and infect others, and of course, it is that what exactly happens. And here comes the first obvious plot hole: with so much noise from a party at a time of infection, martial law and mandatory curfew, was there no neighbor reporting the police or the army? From here on out the rest of the film happens in the house of the main actress with all the clichés and dramatics that we have already seen in other films of the sort, and the end does not escape the rule. 3/10

It starts with a young girl who is having a good family consisting of a sister and a dad with her mom who is abroad. So one day an epidemic breaks out and all the people are getting infected will this family survive?Story vise it had a lot of potential but it failed to execute it properly, the concept was good but it did not hit the right notes. Acting vise they did a good job but they were let down by the script. Was expecting many scenarios in this movie till the end but nothing and got me disappointed. No I would not recommend this movie to anyone. Am giving an average rating for the concept of this movie.Notable ActingSofia Black famous for her acting in the movies Project almanac and many more.Analeigh Tipton famous for her acting in movies like crazy stupid love, warm bodies, lucy and many more.My Rating 6/10

I originally gave this film a 6 but watched it again last night and upped it to 7.Its really a very good end of times / alien takeover movie. The photography is lush and reminiscent of the old days of Technicolor , acting is pretty decent, music is good and the special effects are really pretty gross out and convincing.As low budget horror scifi goes its actually a really good effort and well worth a rental.Was it an alien takeover or just a parasite never seen before on earth hmmm? - we will never know but the fact the contaminated all gathered to commune suggest intelligence of perhaps alien connotations in my mind which gives the film another hook for the viewer.Splendid entertainment and if it impresses my brother who is a real hardcore scifi horror fan then it must be hot half bad!

A virus breaks out causing the infected to lose their faculties and attack the healthy. In a small American town two sisters try to survive on their own when their parents are locked outside the quarantine zone.This film starts off really well. The two female leads are excellent, with strong engrossing characters. Watching them live their ordinary lives is great viewing. The relationship between the two sisters, one who is sexual active and the other not, is played out with great skill. As things start to head south they deal with the situation as best they can.This is where my praise for the movie ends. You can actually hit the pause button and see the exact second where some company executive taps the director on the shoulder and says "hey, bud, you remember this is a Sci-fi right?"The director and writers obviously weren't up for this. I think they probably asked the guy from the local comic book store for advice. As all the hard work and investment in the characters is thrown away to stick some ridiculous tentacles in - then try and pass it off with some very flaky biology.I am a big fan of sci-fi, especially post apocalyptic stories. This fails to deliver on both accounts. Despite my tastes I would rather this had panned out as a coming of age movie.Watch it for the characters, then turn it off to avoid the laughable appearance of the actual virus.
