yankmebollix This is a rare cracker of a movie. I've seen it several times. Gripping. Ignore the bad reviews. The look like they're a campaign of idiots with nothing better to do.Bear in mind it's not a zombie, slasher or jump-scare flick. It's a very clever intelligent horror film.

goldenarrow-99823 "God bug" - mad scientist Dr Mendes Wow! What a pleasant surprise this was.Or rather, what a disturbing, unsettling and downright creepy surprise it was.Never have I seen a 'zombie' film with such little violence and blood. In fact I can't recall any actual violence that I saw, other than poor Laurel-Ann trying too hard to get close to Mazzy. Even when Grant & Sydney have to beat one of the 'conversationalists' to death, we only see them stamping away from just above the victim.Interesting that they are to be called 'conversationalists' rather than 'zombies' according to director Bruce McDonald;"There are three stages to this virus. The first stage is you might begin to repeat a word. Something gets stuck. And usually it's words that are terms of endearment like sweetheart or honey. The second stage is your language becomes scrambled and you can't express yourself properly. The third stage you become so distraught at your condition that the only way out of the situation you feel, as an infected person, is to try and chew your way through the mouth of another person." Interview with Bruce McDonald I accept this but only to a certain extent. From stage one to two it's a credible step. But from scrambled words to eating faces is one biiiiiiiiiig leap!As is often the case with a good film, it got me thinking. The idea that a virus (or whatever you want to call it) can be transmitted through words is really novel but how did it originate....?Wonder if it's not biological/chemical weapons that whoever is the US's current number one enemy possesses but a toxic vocabulary?Or maybe nobody has yet mastered it and the Pentagon are working on it. They will have me 'removed' for going public and blowing the whistle on their little scam.

vishnu-dileep08 It starts with a radio host doing his daily routine with his crew when a deadly virus outbreaks in his area in Ontario. So will he and his crew survive?The movie is confusing in many ways, the way the virus spreads is a unique concept I have not seen this in any other movies but the way they showed it was really confusing I can say it could have been done in a better way. The starting of the movie was perfect and I was really enthusiastic to know what happens next but was really disappointed. The first half of the movie was really interesting to watch but soon the story-line went downward and the ending was also not that impressive. Acting vise they did a really good job but it was led down by the story-line. I always felt the movie was incomplete.No I would not recommend this movie to anyone.Notable ActingStephen Mchattie famous for his acting in the movies 300, watchmen, the fountain and many more.Lisa Houle Georgina ReillyMy Rating 5/10

DogFilmCritic Thanks to a friend that recommended this movie I got to see how amazing this underrated film is. As the horror genera plots are very saturated, this movie takes a new angle.I had no expectations at all nor did I read what it was about ,I saw it and it blew my mind, this movie feels more like an intellectual film rather than a simple horror movie as it makes you think and use you imagination, a lot of it is tell rather than show as you have to paint images in your mind to get an idea of what's going on, it builds more in suspense and tension instead of shocking visuals and gore. Think of a cross between Orson Wells war of the worlds and George Romero night of the living dead. It can feel claustrophobic at times as most of it takes place in a basement with a blizzard going out side, the cold tones and the dark surroundings with a creepy atmosphere are all over the place it keeps you wanting to find out what's out there.My explanation or trying to understand what's the virusThe virus is part of that world, is an invisible entity and dose undeniably exist, the characters are aware of it. A event just happened and we will never understand it, it's a phenomenon if it defies logic then we disbelieve in its existence, accepting things we will never fully know the answer it's unquestionably, it's simply just a fact. In actual history there's what we know and there's a lot of it we don't understand
