George A. Romero would be proud

Rating: 8/10 (22 June 2013)

I honestly didn't know what the movie was about when walking in. I was thinking aliens or an earthly being that decided to attack. Fortunately, it's not long into the movie you find out pretty much exactly what's going down.
Think "Walking Dead", "28 Days Later", "I am Legend", "Contagion"... This movie is yet another take on the various apocalypse type movies. If you love zombie movies, then no reason why you shouldn't like this one. If you don't like zombie movies, then I still suggest watching it because this isn't your flesh or brain eating stomach turning variety. These walking undead are only out to spread their virus, hence their race, by biting their victims once if they can. It is clear that people are more like hosts for a sinister virus.
The movie has a lot of tense moments and cool effects. There are scenes where you see exactly what people look like if they behaved like rabid ants. It is a good edge-of-your-seat thriller as you follow around Gerry (Brad Pitt) in his mission to find the origin and potential cure for this virus.
