Páiric O'Corráin Viral: This Outbreak is due to a parasite rather than a virus so the title is somewhat misleading. A bit like the parasites from The Strain. They turn the hosts into Zombiesque beings who spread the "virus" through projectile vomiting and bites. But the problem does go "viral".The action takes place in a small town which is quarantined after the Outbreak. Most of the characters are teens but this is an adult movie. Certainly more of a Horror Film than any of the Twilight Saga. 7/10.

emdethuong No, seriously, don't waste your time. Very stupid teenagers doing stupid things and stupid decisions. It's so stupid that it gets on your nerves. Its a waste of time...

Andariel Halo It was a fun movie, and I often think about it long after having watched it. that already puts it above and beyond a great many other movies.I liked the use of the wormy-type things and the sounds they made. I also thought it was cute how they used actual footage of president Obama talking about Ebola as a stand-in for the Viral thing occurring in the movie.

sir_aifhe spoilers or whatever So the pathogen in this movie was a worm that would burrow into you and change who you are, but the theme was primarily about personal isolation. The main character is just oh so painfully shy, which is being enabled by her older sister, who has dyed hair because she's a total free spirited rebel and has no problem doing whatever she wants. The opposite of our character, who is reserved, cautious and worried about what the results of things will end up being. Through the movie, people become more and more estranged from each other - The main character is a new girl in a new town. She tries to talk with her dad about his breakup(?) with their mom, but that isn't resolved before he also disappears. Her main friend is similar to her older sister, a very sassy and outspoken girl who starts the movie already infected. All of the outspoken characters are quickly infected, with the shy, sensitive ones left to deal with things. (This is reinforced with Evan's belligerent/drunk stepdad accusing him of being 'sensitive' and then in the next scene we see him, he's a zombie).These are all good things, except that the plot was clearly designed step by step first and the reactions from the characters stuffed into the script later. There are a lot of things happening that have to happen to move the plot forward, with no effort from the main characters. One of the best examples is that of the neighbor getting sick. Why/how? The contagion is only spread through blood transfer, so only people who are exposed to infected people coughing blood on them are in any risk. But Evan's stepdad and the neighbor's wife both somehow got infected without realizing it. This ended the movie for me, because the point of them getting infected A) showed how the military is responding to the threat (you can't trust them) and B) forced Evan back into the house with the two sisters, after just abandoning them at the party. The cell phones constantly send messages asking them to report infections, but then the cell phones and cable and land lines are all simultaneously disconnected. It adds to the isolation, but seems to be counter to the plan of the government. Are they trying to address the situation agressively (military, road block shoot outs, house invasions), or are they trying to keep it a secret? blah.
