Most boring film I've seen in a long time


The description of this movie sounded potentially cool. Ugh! Was I wrong. I havn't seen anything this boring in a while. and WTF was with the ending lol. Do yourself a favour and DO NOT watch this.

When you get a sense of what it's going to be about- 5 people quarantined, you should know it won't be action-packed. Your expectations should change and you should be able to make the adjustments in your mindset so that you could enjoy the movie for what it is. If you want more of an action-packed similar film though, try The Crazies (70's version. I never saw the remake but most films and all remakes these days are "avoid at all costs").

This film is okay. The story with the cooped up characters makes you want to see what will happen with them. There was only one death due to the disease though. There should have been at least one more. Maybe they could find out that something else sets it off as well.

It's pretty boring, but there were a couple good moments. I've seen worse.

The best you can say for it is that Bill Rebane has done worse. It's not totally stupid. The acting is mostly OK. it is competently shot and edited. The writing is serviceable, for a no-budget version of The Andromeda Strain. But it is dull and not worth watching unless, like me, you have an interest in Bill Rebane and regional film making.
