Has anyone heard of this movie yet? It is another zombie/infected movie, but it looks more like a thriller/suspense movie than horror. I guess you can say it is like 28 Days Later than Dawn of the Dead (2004). The release date is Sept. 4th, 2009.
Four friends fleeing a viral pandemic soon learn they are more dangerous than any virus.
A deadly virus has spread across the globe. Contagion is everywhere, no one is safe and no one can be trusted. Four young attractive people race through the back roads of the American West to the pounding beat of a vacation soundtrack. Their aim is to retreat to secluded utopian beach in the Gulf of Mexico, where they could peacefully wait out the pandemic and survive the apocalyptic disease. CARRIERS follow their getaway through a surreal and dangerous world where laws and rules no longer apply. Their plans take a grim turn when their car breaks down on an isolated road starting a chain of events that will seal the fate of each of them in an inexorable and horrifying voyage of hell through a western landscape populated by only the hideous dead or the twisted living. Their desperate retreat south turns into a deadly battle against infected children, homicidal doctors, crazed survivalists, rabid dogs, and, finally each other. The virus is the least of their problems as horrible choices must be made in the face of lost humanity.
Btw from the trailer it looks like more emphasis is placed on the people than the zombies.. =(
Yup, which is why it is stated "Four friends fleeing a viral pandemic soon learn they are more dangerous than any virus.". I think it is a good approach for a movie because it will be more about human behavior during a crisis. I mean in some zombie/infected movie we see how some people break down during a stressful situation, but we also see the bloody carnage from the infected. I'm predicting this movie will be more like 28 Days Later with more character development than seeing infected running around ripping people up.
It's a relatively refreshing approach, but more zombies would definitely be appealing. Can't tell how much zombies there will be though from just the trailer
Post-apocalypse can be so good and so horribly bad that I don't really know what to make of this movie. I hope it's good, kind of interesting to see a "zombie" movie made on something relatable.

only a matter of time before producers gave a thumbs up for a movie like this, what with the media going crazy over SARS, bird flu, and now swine...
looks like 28 days later except without the soldiers, which sucks because that's part of what 28 days later made it so much better/different than other zombie flicks.
