Excellent movie, was a bit morbid though some scenes may affect sensitive viewers as they say and even though I can handle zombies and sci-fi it's different when you know this stuff is based on reality. Disturbing, but they did it tastefully and always a good reminder while sci-fi our monsters are creatures from outer space the reality is that the real monsters are far scarier and more likely our ...
