Carriers (2009)
Carriers is a (presumably) low budget movie about survivors of a global plague that has wiped out most of the population. Right from the get go Carriers has excellent atmosphere and tension, the desolate landscape and empty urban centres have a really haunting affect. It is an ugly world and the main protagonists are faced with some horrible situations along the way. Dark things have happened and the present does not look much better.
There are some good performances from the cast and it is hard to find something to dislike about this film. Confrontations are largely played for tension and not cheap violence, there are no easy way outs handed to the characters and we are slowly fed information about the world to keep us interested.
I am going to give Carriers a top end 4/5 and a good recommendation, it falls short of a 5/5 as I do not think it will be a film you want to watch over and over again and while it is very good at being the film it is not anything more than that.
