A wise reasoning and a red flag for a certain crowd.

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 2019)

This movie is perfectly well acted and well produced in almost every aspect. It portrays the theme of blindness surprisingly subtle and more realistic then most movies. It doesn't have the "I iron my pancakes"-flatness that is often found within the genre. So why do so many people still hate it?
--- :
It makes too many, too valid points that are pro-empathy. Wich is unusual for a most horror movies. A large subdivision of the horror crowd really hates that.
It provides near impenetrable reasons, that egoistic "preserve-myself-and-my-family-and-defend-against-parasites" behavior falls short in front of the multitude a threats that require different kinds of "evolutionary fitness". Even in an apocalyptic situation.
A movie arguing so well, that a live worth living, doesn't only include empathy as a core value, but actually REQUIRES it for the survival, makes them feel guilty. So they dismiss it.
After all, believing that "helping" is "something weak and stupid people do, to preserve themselves" is how they manage to live with themselves. When they're faced with a valid point of how altruism is a successful way of survival, they run out of "weak" or "soft" people to blame. So they get spiteful.
