Review by neilcarlin

I saw some ads on social media and a campaign designed to challenge the potential viewer with 'shock reaction videos'. Essentially i was drawn in by both intrigue and being a big fan of asian cinema.

The movie had it's moments but slowly i was watching just to finish it rather than wanting to. The shock value was completely deminished for me with corny performances of the crazy infected that echoed the likes of Rob Zombie's wife in anything he's cast her in. If that does it for you then this is up your street. After the shock factor let me down there was little left of the movie for me to enjoy. The two leads had little to no character developement... I've even now lost interest in writing a review but felt the current rating was not accurate and needed knocking down a peg. If it's a shock movie you want check out Irreversible or A Serbian Film (particularly the uncut version). These both spend time on character developement and story, the former incredibly so, the latter is the most shocking film i've seen. But in doing so i was more invested in the characters, thereby i care what happens to them.
