want to pay premium prices for something like this either.  Thankfully I saw it at home, so nothing but the film mattered, and the only thing I had to think about while watching it was how in the hell are these people going to get out of that building alive without being bitten or infected.  I also had to hold my breath a lot because most of the scares in this movie came out of nowhere, even when such scares were expected because we never could see behind the camera, or beyond the little bit of light the camera offered.  

Now, as just stated above, I can understand why people didn’t like this movie, though given that most of the criticism for it was based on the fact that it was another point-of-view movie, something that was made obvious from the previews, I have to ask why these people went to see it in the first place?  Also, many are calling this just another stupid zombie film, which it isn’t and makes me wonder how distracted people are when going to see these films or if they are just idiots to begin with and can’t grasp what the movie is showing them, because the reason for these characters acting the way there are in the movie is clearly presented.  Further, many people are shouting that rabies doesn’t act this quickly, which again makes me wonder what they were doing during the movie, because that was clearly stated as well by the veterinarian character.  Another reviewer said that rabies can’t be engineered to act this quickly, but they obviously haven’t done any reading on the subject, something which a simple Google search would fix.  In fact, I think everyone should do a nice little search on this just to see how many different biological programs the Soviets once had, some of which involved rabies and how many of their programs left stuff like this lying around after their collapse, stuff that individuals can easily acquire and can continue to develop with a homemade lab, which then could either result in a planned out biological attack, or a accidental release.

All in all this was a nice little flick that I would recommend to people if they like these point of view films and want a gross, in your face thriller.  If you don’t like point of view films, however, then just stay away from this and wait for something else to come out, because no matter what you won’t like it, so why spend money on it?    

NOTE: I would have preferred to read this as a story than see it on the screen because I think it would have been really good as a novel (if it was a novel first let me know so I can read it), because it would have allowed for more character development and a more clear understanding of how this biological agent was created, how it worked (especially if they found a notebook full of test results), and what those outside who had them quarantined were planning to do about it.  I also would have liked to know why it quickly infected some people like the firefighter and those that were bitten but seemed to take a long time with the little girl.
