Warning Sign fails to deliver any substantive messages or any genuine thrills. Go to Full Review
Craig Schroeder Battleship Pretension 01/07/2021
In the war against the capitalist curation of streaming services, Scream Factory continues to be a noble soldier, offering horror fans the opportunity to see forgotten oddities and small pictures that would otherwise go unnoticed. Go to Full Review

A sedate endeavor. Go to Full Review
Tom Long Santa Cruz Sentinel 02/04/2019
The film is fast-paced, predictable, and ultimately mediocre, but at least it helps breed some healthy paranoia. Go to Full Review

A.L.Jude P @judebd Aug 23 One of the most underrated where it inspired a gamut of trivial movies which is not in par with this. See more Saso Q 02/24/2023 This film could have been as good as John Carpenter's The Thing, equaling it in claustrophobia, paranoia and not least of all in soundtrack. Unfortunately, from an extremely promising and captivating beginning -- with some genuinely intense sequences relating to biohazard protocols, biowarfare containment procedures and the collective unconscious memory of the horrors of rabies -- it steadily devolves into a progressively goofier and goofier zombie affair that ends with the most feeble-minded resolution possible, involving a medical and political happy-ending wherein a small town sheriff and an alcoholic scientist manufacture a cure to a bioengineered, weaponized disease in a matter of hours while the inhabitants of said small farming town overpower the United States military and break into a Level 4 maximum security federal research facility to liberate survivors of one of the most dangerous and sinister medical-industrial disasters conceivable.

I admit there are a couple of technical inaccuracies but they're only minor and this movie inspired me to become a scientist who worked on vaccines! Well worth a watch and still holds up to this day.

See more 05/13/2019 Pretty cool, claustrophobic outbreak thriller. It wraps up a little too cleanly for my liking, but it's a solid entry in this genre. See more Read all reviews
