Not knowing anything about this before viewing thought it might be a tame rom-com or something. Oh how wrong I was!
There are a number of twists within the movie that are unexpected (or are they?) to the point I do want to watch it again to see if the signs were there. The characters are likeable and very unlikeable throughout. There are some very funny moments where the cinema audience all laughed and the plot, all be it ridiculous, is enjoyable and you can imagine it happening in the not so near future.
There are definite Black Mirror elements and this only adds to the fluid story line. It's a really interesting take on the future and above all a whole lot of fun.
Great film!

I read the book 10 or so years ago after having read Let the Right One In which I absolutely loved. I am now a fan of John Lindqvist and read everything he has written.
I can't remember a lot of the storyline but do remember some parts that I could almost smell the rot whilst reading.
For me this is about how life carries on whatever happens whether that is death, a pandemic or in this case something arguably worse. Everyone has a different way of dealing with life and what is thrown at them with the knowledge that we will all eventually pass and not return. Some acknowledge this whilst others think they are immortal.
The film could have been longer but I thought the score and atmosphere were especially well done.

Wow! I found this to be a solid movie with a lot of hatred in the characters that made this such a different take on other horrors.
It was foul and atmospheric in a cruel but wonderful way from the start and everything was going so well, thoroughly enjoyable until 1hr 28m 21s ... what on earth happened?!
It was like the director, writer, cinematographer, editor and sound team walked out and they handed it over to a totally different team to finish.
Such a shame as the lead up was excellent. Some familiar faces and dark humour added to the characters of whom most became likeable in their own unique way.
