Synopsis: An apocalyptic tale where four friends fleeing a viral pandemic threatening to wipe out the human race discover that their greatest enemy is not the microbe attacking humanity, but the darkness within themselves.This sort of reminded me of Zombieland, minus the zombies and comedy. It's dark, grimy and more intense and really deals more with human nature than the deadly virus.
Our 4 leads are trying to simply survive and get to a locale that they feel they can be safe and along the way they encounter problems, not just with others but within their own group, which leads to a lot of those "what would I do" type situations. It helps that they got solid actors with Chris Pine (James T. Kirk in Star Trek) getting a lot of screen time.
It's not a bad film by any means, but I like my "horror" with a bit more action so it didn't blow me away. It's sort of tame on the horror scale and leans more towards the thought-provoking, emotional character study side of things. Ultimately it really adds nothing to the survivalist film genre though but it passes in a swift 84 minutes so I recommend giving it a look if it sounds like your thing.
