Contagio Zero

This movie has very good acting and excellent atmosphere and a palpable sense of dread but it's also a very frustrating experience to watch. I wasn't sure if this was a zombie film or an infection movie (like 28 DAYS/WEEKS LATER) and in fact THIS movie doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. Some infected act violently for a few seconds but most infected just gasp for breath and crawl on the ground. One character in particular spent the majority of her screen time gasping/crawling around on the floor (at least 20 minutes of the film!!). The crawling gets annoyingly repetitive especially considering the movie is only an hour and 17 minutes long. The film seems to want to be an infection film (like CONTAGION) but also have zombie movie vibes to it.

There's a very interesting and dark side storyline involving how the outbreak is happening but it's only focused on for about 3 minutes. The filmmaker of this movie has a ton of talent and potential though. I hope he makes more films that have a better storyline/script.

It's really hard to find anything positive to say about this film , possibly the only redeeming thing is the fact that it's quite short. The story is weak and the mothers lack of interest in her daughters well being is frustrating and unrealistic. How it got 80% on rotten tomatoes is genuinely shocking. Don't fall for it , its a trap. The film is garbage!

Don't let the genres of "mystery" and "thriller" fool you. There are NO thrills here, just interminable boredom. It runs 1 hour 20 minutes, but it feels like 4 hours because nothing happens. We get to listen to someone's boring, pointless phone call to their mother, which goes on and on and on for no apparent reason other than to pad the running time. A terrible, terrible movie which should be an embarrassment to all involved.

There is no explanation as to why the little girl apparently saw her dad in the basement.... A pointless phone call Just a colossal waste of time it's not even a zombie film not really.

Super slow, the personality of the characters are predictable and with no construction at all.

80 minutes just trying to figure out what was really going on and seeing a lot of feet scenes What wrong with the mother? Prefers to gossip and be naive than go and save her daughter. Nonono, terrible.

The typical "bad guy" with an "evil plan" trying to conquer the world.
