One of the worst movies i've ever seen.

True dat.

Terrible, terrible movie.

Just watched this and what lot a rubbish

I thought it was pretty good.

Unlike semi-goofy post-apocalyptic films like the Mad Max series, "Carriers" is deadly serious. This works in the film's favor.

One of the moral conundrums explored is what do you do if a loved one gets the disease? Since anyone with the disease is as good as dead, do you mercifully kill them? Leave them behind to suffer and die alone? Or stay with them, which is tantamount to suicide since you'll catch the virus as well?

The film also explores one's reaction to such a pandemic: Do we forsake all sense of morality in an attempt to survive -- lie, steal, forsake, murder -- or do we hold on to morality, come what may? Is life worth living if you must become a wicked savage to survive? Isn't it better to live with dignity at all costs and die with dignity when we must?

"Carriers" is to be commended for provoking such questions.

Some denounce the film for being too depressing, but wouldn't a lawless society with a contagious lethal virus on the loose be a dire situation? The downbeat vibe simply reflects the reality of the story. This doesn't mean that every character has to be some moral-less savage, as one of the main characters becomes, but it definitely makes the proceedings believable. That said, I would have preferred if the film offered more glimpses of hope & dignity, but the filmmakers obviously wanted to explore the element of a near-hopeless situation and the film should be accepted on that level.

"Carriers" is an excellent -- albeit decidedly melancholic -- depiction of a post-apocalyptic world where conventional law & order are non-existent. The film successfully stimulates moral reflection and is engrossing from beginning to end. Although it looses points for being too downbeat, especially the climax: ***SPOILERS*** C'mon, the dude makes it to the remote beach and he has a hot lass at his side; they could be the new Adam & Eve, but all he does is whine like it's the end of the world or something.
