Three decades after a major country is quarantined in hopes of containing a lethal and highly contagious virus nicknamed "Reaper," signs that the super-bug has resurfaced in a major city prompt desperate specialists to race back into the infected zone to find a cure in director Neil Marshall's (The Descent) miasmic speculative sci-fi thriller. Few could have foreseen the terror that the microorganism known as "Reaper" would unleash upon the unsuspecting population, and when terrified authorities quarantined the entire country in hopes of saving the human race, the streets immediately descended into chaos. Thirty years later, the inhabitants of planet Earth think that they've seen the last of the merciless killer disease, but they couldn't be more wrong. When "Reaper" reappears more powerful than ever in a major city, an elite group of professionals led by Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra) are forced to travel back into the sealed-off country where the virus first broke out in order to create a cure and save humankind from certain doom. Now, as the rest of the world anxiously awaits word of their ultimate fate, Eden and her brave team are about to find out that there is indeed a hell, and they are about to journey directly into its black, envenomed heart. Also in the cast are Bob Hoskins and Malcolm McDowell, as well as a host of veterans from Marshall's past productions, including Sean Pertwee, MyAnna Buring, Craig Conway, and Nora-Jane Noone. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Joe M.

An otherwise well-made flick undone by over-the-top gratuitous gore. And when the originality starts scraping the bottom, the film-makers resort to shameless theft from Aliens and The Road Warrior.

Not bad - sort of like a female Mad Max. Lots of action and craziness throughout. Better than what I had expected though - what I like i that it wasn't predictable like some of these types of movies are.

I really didn't know what to expect from this movie. I was suprised at how much I liked it. Definatly a Mad-Max-ish movie. And one thing this movie doesn't hold back on is the gore! One part I honestly covered my eyes on is the body burning/carving/eating scene :P yuck. Worth renting.
