6/10
great b-budget movie... worth renting. 1 star reviews are totally unfair.

A lot of people were giving this movie 1 stars. I think that is totally unfair. The movie operates on a very simple premise.

I recommend this movie as an entertaining little rental. It brings out some of the emotions of fear, paranoia, and confusion that people felt after 9/11 using a small budget and set. I commend the film makers.

SPOILERS What if 9/11 occurred, not in NYC... but as a germ warfare attack with dirty bombs? This movie follows one man as he deals with fear, paranoia, potential loss of a loved one, etc.

People have been criticizing the movie for plot holes. They are not plot holes. The character did things differently than they would. That's not a plot hole.

People have also said that the government said (SPOILER!!!) that the house was filled with a deadly variant of the virus and that this doesn't make sense, "how could they know what the air in the house was like". What they're missing is that the government was totally confused all along. I think this helped underscore how our government was giving such mixed messages after 9/11.

I gotta say, I think many of the comments about this movie are unfair. This movie does not deserve one star reviews. Those reviewers have obviously never seen a Uwe Boll movie or Dracula 3000.
