Sight & Sound

virus thriller Deranged (Yeon-ga-si) tries hard to break free of its Contagion shackles by giving its infection a truly bizarre origin & symptomatology... [but] ends up being both preposterously silly and numbingly repetitive.

Los Angeles Times

A disaster film with just the right touch of reality to ground the outre genre flourishes.

Rated: 3/5

Yes, there are messages about the callousness of big business and the recurring foolishness of man tampering with nature, but they're never didactic, and they never overwhelm the film's escapist thrills.

Reel Film Reviews

Deranged is, for the most part, simply unable to become the tense or engrossing thriller promised by its admittedly spectacular setup.

Rated: 1.5/4

Film Journal International

Terrific, engrossing and intelligent epidemic thriller from Korea, which shows up American product like Contagion and Outbreak for their shallowness and commercialism.

Korea does Contagion. It would have been good too, but the movie jumps around confusingly and then gets just too far fetched.

Thrillerone epidemico. Davvero niente di nuovo, ma fa il suo sporco lavoro.
