Adam Nayman Globe and Mail This is a serious, austere film that feels as if it's barely restraining the B-movie within. In the end, it fights itself to a draw. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 28, 2014 Full Review Bruce DeMara Toronto Star Carballo also fails to capitalize on the climate of paranoia the script attempts to engender throughout. Mar 27, 2014 Full Review Susan Wloszczyna RogerEbert.com Carballo offsets the lack of surprise with such efficient suspense builders as propulsive music, ambient noise, realistic lighting and judicious handheld camerawork while efficiently explaining the science and politics behind what is happening. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 14, 2014 Full Review Jay Stone Canada.com Director Manuel Carballo seems to be trying for the psychological unease of Blindness, or perhaps of something by Cronenberg, but it's never more than artificial terror wrapped in bland social commentary. Rated: 2/5 Mar 28, 2014 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher Cuttingly sharp and incisive SF horror; a chillingly polite film about the fascism that rises quickly up in a moment of fearful crisis. Feb 19, 2014 Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews A zombie movie in which the normal people are to be feared. Modest in scope, but very effective.

No Name N The movie is fine. My only issue is with the sound. The Characters whisper very quietly a lot, which makes me turn up the volume however, there’s also really loud moments, which makes me have to turn the volume back down. The sound is not at the same level throughout the movie and it is frustrating to have to fight with the sound controls throughout. The movie is so quiet most of the time. I am constantly switching the volume Between 27 and 55 notches on my TV. I’m streaming on Prime so I think the audio quality is at its best it could be. The audio is just not at a consistent level. It’s hard to get invested in these characters, thinking that they’re all going die anyways because it is very clearly the rapture. Kind of surprised by the ending. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Audience Member The premise was great. Most of the movie was executed well but the end was a huge let down, I expected better. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review bryan b Definitely not your standard blood and guts zombie flick. More like a virus movie (contagion or outbreak). Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Concept is great and different one. Movie moved with lot of Romance, Thrilling and Betrayal. But the ending really sucks. It wasted the entertainment. In other words at the ending we do not know why we watched the whole movie for this ending.Korean and Indian movies has perfect ending then this. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Better than most zombie movies. Interesting concept - the zombies portrayed as the victims - the way it would be if zombies existed in real life. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Could of used a bit more gore and undead but this had an awesome twist & view on the "zombie apocalypse"! I wouldn't mind part 2 (same crew) I wanna see her get much deserved revenge! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
