Carriers Reviews

carriers is a decent movie. it follows the newer zombie revival of movies and doesn't add much of anything to it but that doesn't make it any less.
the one thing that probably makes this film different than say "28 days..." or "28 weeks..." to which this film is often compared, is that there are no real zombies in it.
there is a virus that is high contagious and is killing everyone. through the whole movie you'll only see one person who is possibly dead but than is alive and attacks. you could just as easily take it as a person that was mistaken for dead and just wasn't quite dead yet. there is some talk in the movie about not being able to tell if they were dead or not. also much talk about the fact that anyone who gets infected eventually dies. in fact we start the story clearly after much time has passed and already most people are dead. there are not that many living people in the movie. in fact much of what the movie is about is the dwindling of survivors despite their military regimented rules and systems. simple mistakes undo them.
most of the movie is 4 people, two brothers a wife and a "stranger" sort've friend woman. they are trying to get to a beach hotel the brothers knew as kids to "wait out" the disease. they quickly run into a older man trying to save his infected daughter and have to deal with him to get his vehicle after theirs breaks down. the father is trying to get to a school were there was a "serum". you know whats going to happen probably. they also end up in a run in with another group of survivors with more overthetop military style...and of course that ends badly.
the one thing that may keep people from really liking this movie is the utter lack of hope and an ending that doesn't really bring it home.

overall its solid material. i realize now i didn't have any issues with how it was filmed, written, acted, or anything else for that matter. its pretty damn solid for a film that didn't do very well. it comes on the coat heels of the films mentioned above and doesn't outdo them...so i guess it just got lost. worth watching for more in the same vein.
