Carriers (2009)
Bad, boring and stolen
12 March 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Read "The Stand", everybody. You can even watch the mini-series if you're not into reading. Then you know where most of this was stolen from.

Or watch The Omega Man. (The film remade into WillSmithFest)

Or 28 Days/Weeks Later.

Or Mad Max.

Or The Quiet Earth.

Or Zombieland.

Or Where Have All The People Gone.

Or rec.(IMDb does not let me add the markups...lol)

Or Shaun Of The Dead.

Or Duel. (surely more horror in that one...AND a deserted gas station!:-))

I could go on, but this should leave you with plenty of suitable alternatives!

Don't watch The Road, a film even more boring than this (and more annoying). Don't watch The Book Of Eli (another film I'd have loved to love...)

This bad script stole every cliché in the book (what book is that???;- )) which were executed in a sloooooow and pointless way. The stupid moves, the Mouth vs the Brain, the moving dead, the boarded up house, hey, there was even a derelict gas station! Puh-leeze - Decent actors cannot do anything with ideas from an uninspired, plagiarising scriptwriter.

This is no horror film. This is no drama. This is nothing. I wanted to like it, but it left me sitting there completely uninvolved, I couldn't even be bothered enough to be annoyed at the badness of it all...

For Chris Pine fans: Watch Small Town Saturday Night instead!

Haha, they want me to tick Spoiler Warning should I add one. Now how would that even be possible - what's to spoil??? Or should I have ticked it because my whole review actually wants to spoil? ;-) Save your time and money, check out the better films above!
