Just saw it and...


LOVED IT!!!

Yes, it almost felt like a made for MTV movie, but a fantastic one. First and foremost it is not very scary and it is basically a romantic story wrapped in the plot of a contagion outbreak. The thing about this movie is that it never skips a beat, the pacing is fantastic, the look and feel of the movie are slick, and it is just too damn cool! Definitely worth a rent, if not a buy once it comes out.

I agree with you! I saw it last night at a good ole 7:30pm showing.

It's not scary, but the director used horror and contagion themes perfectly to accentuate the love story. It wasn't gory per say, but it was a tad gross. I love the concept of the infection, and the infection personalities were very "Evil Dead" like which I enjoyed. I also loved the humor involved. I will definitely be buying it on DVD.

I didn't love it

But I liked it

Very much influenced by evil dead. Which is a pro for me.

Only real criticism is I wish there was some kind of reveal at the end.
I pretty much knew what was happening from the very beginning. Nothing was a surprise.

But it was done well, acted well, and like I said, the evil dead influences are a big plus for me!

Definitely buy this one for sure

It was surprisingly well made acted and written.
Obviously not a horror movie, mostly about one guy trying to cope with his emotions.

Sadly not perfect, the ending act has too much needless action and flashbacks for things we already know or can easily figure out. Overall the editing towards the later parts of the movie drags it down, especially the awkward music transitions and number of subplots it suddenly wants us to care about.

Yeah, not the scariest movie ever but a really cool and interesting one. The cast did a good job and the story was original enough but still had the great horror movie trates. All in all a very entertaining movie

Yeah I really enjoyed this film also. I've heard some bitching from others about the pacing, but I enjoyed the jump cuts and fast editing. It gave the movie its feel. I think a lot of long, lingering shots & scenes would have ruined this.
I thought the idea of being able to access any infected person's memories was pretty fracking cool. Too bad you had to be infected with nasty sores and black pus coming out of every orifice but still.. The only character who bugged me in this was Clark.

Very flawed, but it turned out to be a lot better than I had feared. The fast pace kept the movie going without boring me and the romantic aspects wasn't that unbearable compared to how bad other movies mess this up. Its Mememto'esque plot could've been worked on though, and the protagonist was perhaps not the greatest actor (which surprised me a little because his sister, Annalise Basso is a really good actress).

Loved it - very thought provoking and thats what makes a good movie for me.

Excellent ideas and i actually liked the way it was shot contrary to some of the reviewers.

Solid 7/10.

Cool.

I didn't like it...

It was too much predictable.

A good idea, but badly developed.
