Reviews

"I was shuffling nervously in my seat, edging away from the sniffling man next to me. Nobody shook hands or embraced after this screening." - Jason Solomons, Guardian [UK]

"An all-too-terrifying bio-thriller that realistically taps into our most primal fears and survival instincts." - Susan Granger, SSG Syndicate

"A masterpiece bound by the genre it lives in, but a masterpiece all the same." - David Poland, Movie City News

"... there's nothing here to make you feel like you've experienced a meaningful cinematic experience. What a waste." - Cole Smithey, colesmithey.com

"A powerful 'what if?' that leaves you reeling from the implications that something like this could very well happen exactly as depicted." - Edward Douglas, comingsoon.net
