Michael Ledo I enjoyed the horror/mystery/thriller aspect of the film, even some of the plot details. The problem is the execution was horrendous. Sadie (Haley Talbot) has a deadly new disease. Her doctor (Christopher Toyne) claims he can cure her in three weeks if she submits to an experimental procedure in a remote secure location. In order for her husband to be able to go with her, he agrees to contract the disease and undergo treatment. The doctor has had the disease and has been cured.The facility has that sanitary institutionalized feel to it. There are several other patients there also. You immediately realize things are not what they seem and you want to know more about the cure.The acting was acceptable for a "B" horror film. The script needed some polish. For effect, the camera was a bit jerky, for that live feel and during crisis scenes, the voices were removed which I found took away from the film more than added. Sometimes more is more.F-bombs, sex, male nudity.

Jacob Whitt Let me preface this by saying that I was pleasantly surprised by this film. I went in expecting a thriller, not a horror, and it actually quenched my expectations fully and with a little bit of horror tossed in on the side it made for a pleasant viewing. And from the reviews on this site I honestly wasn't expecting too much. But I've experienced this kind of incongruity on IMDb time and time again. Great film, terrible reviews.I'll start with it's strongest point which is the story. The story is absolutely fantastic and was presented almost flawlessly. You can feel the misdirection, as thick as arctic sea smoke, which is the key signature to a thriller's atmosphere. It'll start asking you questions that you didn't even know you wanted to ask. There was not a single moment when I felt I knew exactly what was going to happen next and yet everything was still easy to follow which, IMHO, is where most films (in this genre especially) go wrong. Even to the very end you're still asking questions but if you payed even a modicum of attention you'll understand everything just fine.The acting was decent. Some parts were a little weaker than others mostly due to underacting in a few scenes that involve gore/action, which detracted from the experience but considering that we're not talking about million dollar A list actors the performances passed my own personal 'litmus test' and I consider it quite nominal. One scene in particular will linger in my mind as the most outrageous and yet most underacted scene in film history due mostly to the writing rather than acting oddly enough. Came across a boorish sight gag to me.Cinematography and editing was well done. The special effects and CG left something to be desired but I'm sure it was a matter left to budget rather than talent or design/concept.Don't follow the 'advice' of the other reviewers. This film is much more than the poor (and poorly written) reviews it's received thus far. Watch it and expect an independent film that will delivers a clever story not as a premium blockbuster the AAA studios churn out.

dadatuuexx This film was,nt as bad as the rating above to me,because its at least not like most by- the-book,easy to understand movies you see everyday.Although the story is off kilter,it is different.Reminding me of an early work of David Cronenburg,not in camera work ,or ,flair ,but more in a story about flesh,body ,and breaking the rules to both. Just watch the first early works of the afore mentioned director,and your see my point.(sorry Dave,but you,ll never top your first 5 ,just my feelings )The fx are decent ,the acting alright, and the pace do-able ,its the story that makes this one better than the 3. whatever it got here at I.M.D. B.As i said ,for a Sci-Fi fan who is just ready for a good sci-fi,its better than a lot of those giant animal part 7 movies i now avoid. Come on, do it...i dare you.

rachellovesfilms First off, I love indie films. I love horror films. After watching the trailer for this, I was sooo sure this would be one of my new fave movies. yeah, that didn't happen. At all.It has a very slow build up. Honestly, if I hadn't watched the trailer so many times and seen what creepy things were coming, I would have given up after 15 minutes. But, I soldiered on and was not rewarded. An oft seen directing technique is to keep some questions unanswered to keep the audience in suspense. And we get this from the start (only referring to things in terms of "the disease" and "the cure"). But, the whole point is to eventually at least ALLUDE to an answer. I seriously have no idea what happened. In the beginning, as part of "the cure" you can clearly see some sort of insect-like organism being implanted. Granted, you can only see a leg, but I know an exoskeleton when I see it. Then, as we see more of the cure, it is sometimes a 5+ foot long worm-time organism. Sometimes it's a weird membranous structure that takes over the host's head. I get that we aren't supposed to know what "the cure" really is other than it is a parasite, but there were so many things that just were outside the realm of belief for me. 1.) that there is a parasite that has that many damn forms 2.) that someone would sign up for an experimental procedure without at least getting an idea of what the procedure actually is and what the side effects are 3.) that NO ONE tried to use the video chat to call for help. at the end, that one guy called his wife and didn't mention the fact that they were in a freaking level 55 danger situationand, because i'm a nerd, I couldn't believe that 1.) there would ever be a gov't funded study in which patients were not told up front what the procedure and what the side effects would be. that's the law. 2.) that a doctor would ever just start sticking his gloved hand into someone's body during a surgery. 3.) those are FORCEPS. not a SPREADER. just because you happened to use them to spread open the incision at that point in time doesn't mean that's what it's called. 4.) that a doctor would ever put on sterile latex gloves and then TOUCH HIS FACE before examining a patient.yes, i know the doc was obviously crazy, but he was also a researcher. he would never do anything that would at all contaminate his results.there is difference between asking an audience to suspend their beliefs a little and follow you on a weird journey for the sake of cinema, and just not doing all of your research when you're writing a medical sci-fi script and filling said script with tons of plot holes.the ONLY redeeming quality this film has is the special fx makeup. and even then, i would recommend just looking up pictures instead of watching the film. very disappointed.
