Factual errors: Veterinarian Lawrence (Greg Germann) claims that a blood test for rabies will not work and the only way to test for rabies is a brain sample. A brain sample is the most reliable way to diagnose rabies but it is also possible to make the diagnosis from saliva, urine and cerebrospinal fluid samples. more

Woah., 21 October 2008

Author: justin_currie from Canada

I went into this movie with fairly vague expectations - however I am a fan of scary movies, and not to mention a big fan of Jennifer Carpenter, could be good times. so lets go.

woah.

This movie was horribly fantastic! It was a ride, a very scary, very stressful ride, but an awesome one. True, this flick does not stray far from the typical zombie flick concepts, but I thought the execution was above par. The 1st person views, the sense of confinement/hopelessness, and the great acting (especially ms carpenter, extremely believable job of someone going hysterically frantic) One of the key things about this horror is the scares never let up, there is rarely a "breather scene" where you get to relax for any amount of time, it just keeps hitting you and hitting you.

haha, phew. I truly enjoyed. check it out. cheers
