Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Brings absolutely nothing new to the table. Rated: C Jun 1, 2011 Full Review Simon Crook Empire Magazine A moody, engaging end-of-the-world horror-drama, if a bit too apocalypse-lite. Rated: 3/5 Dec 11, 2009 Full Review Nigel Floyd Time Out This thoughtful, low-key exploration of our darker survival instincts is too conventional and unfocused to fully engage our emotions. Rated: 2/5 Dec 11, 2009 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Although the film comes very close to being more than run-of-the-mill horror fodder, too much studio meddling and a shifting tone leave the result uneven. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews "Humorless B-film on a post-apocalyptic global air-borne viral pandemic that is wiping out the earth's population. Rated: C+ Jul 14, 2020 Full Review José Arce LaButaca.net A cynical and fastidious film, its carried mostly by the evolution of its protagonist quartet.

Audience Member This film aged REALLY well, considering I am watching it for the first time on the ParaMount +. I expected a zombie component but was surprised the super plague was the main theme. Lots of adventures await, and I love Piper. Recognized her from the few appearances over the years all the way back to coyote ugly. Chris Pine is now a legend like his Dad, but typecast always as James T. Anyone who is looking for a good raw post apocalyptic romp will enjoy Carriers. I give it 4 of 5 matzahs. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/05/24 Full Review Emilliano Jr S I thought at first, it's a typical zombie movie. But I was wrong and amazed how I was entertained. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Raymond D This movie is so ass I do not recommend watching it. Pacing, certain acting, everything. Do not watch please make this move rotten. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Pasquale u It's ok. I can't really say much happens and a few loose ends aren't really seen through. Chris Pines great as always Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Isabelle No need for a big budget when your movie has a good plot! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 2.7 standard run of your mill pandemic movie Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
