Carriers (2009). First off, kudos to these film makers for making a PG-13 movie that is both bleak and brutal. Parents and children alike can tormented through their altruistic splendor. Billed as horror, this is more a horror of psychologic dread and paranoia sort of flick. While the storyline of Carriers is not exactly new, instead with subtlety, it it poses the question many of might want to answer when civilization's chips are down: Are the Draconian measures that we must to impose upon ourselves and others in order to survive worth the costs of our humanity? Does furthering the nightmare with acts of inhumanity actually make for a life worth living? In the asking, don't expect a fast-paced thriller, this one takes its sweet and appropriate time getting to where it is going, you know- the journey and all. The acting was quite splendid for this character-driven flick, making for that icky feeling when they make their bad choices and otherwise disappoint us. The direction was solid, and the camera work, while not spectacular, was adept. At the end, we are left with that tumultuous pit in our stomach, pondering the meaning of life when it has turned south. Late.
