    It's Hard to Know how to Rate This Film

    The production quality and acting are 100% excellent. The story itself is so implausible and just didn't make enough sense for me. On the other hand, the film maintains interest (certainly not boring). So...ten stars for top-notch production and acting. Minus five stars for a somewhat ridiculous plot. Then I added a star because it kept my interest until the end. I hope that helps!

    The trailer makes u believe that it is another film on infectious disease....

    But this is a solid thriller with enuff twists n turns. The acting is top notch. Do not read more about this film or the climax might get spoiled.

    Defintely not your run-of-the-mill thriller

    This film changes at least twice. The first twist will catch you off guard, for sure. Luckily I went in without knowing anything about this film. It's different than most films and the story is a bit addicting, albeit nonsensical. This is a thriller to have fun with but defintely not to be taken seriously. Don't expect some groundbreaking plot line or characterization but know that there are plenty of twists and turns to keep you hooked until the end. And if you don't focus too much on it's ridiculous storyline, the film is actually quite fun.

    It does get gruesome at parts. Don't say you haven't been warned.

    I felt sick after for a moment.

    I literally felt a little sick for a moment after finishing this movie but it wasn't the gore. Almost the entire film just felt so weird, strange and unappealing to watch. Especially the ending is so over the top that you are just left confused and unsatisfied. If that feeling I got at the end was the intention of the director, this film succeeded. But there is a story in this somewhere, a few twists and some good visuals.

    Rating: C

    Not exactly what I was expecting.....

    I sat down expecting a horror film, and the first half of film seems to be heading in that direction. However it's more of a psychological drama/thriller with a few twists. I have to say the acting was good, and the storyline itself unexpected but decent. However I would have liked to have seen this film go in a totally different direction. The ending was a little cliche for me, they weren't very imaginative there. It really had the potential to be something so much better than it was.
