Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThough filmed in late 2006, Carriers was not released by Paramount until September 2009, following the success of Chris Pine's appearance in Star Trek (2009), released earlier in 2009.
- GoofsAt the golf resort, characters cock their shotguns, indicating they've been walking around with unloaded weapons. Then they keep cocking them. No live rounds are heard hitting the floor, so evidently they're all carrying empty weapons.
- Alternate versionsThe German Blu-ray and DVD release contains hard language and more bloody violence than the PG-13 Rated U.S. version.
Featured review
Second this is NOT a zombie film. So don't be fooled by the idiotic marketing of this fine little gem. What this is, is a deliberately paced drama about a group of survivors in a world plagued with a virus that's pretty much killed everyone and the hard decisions they have to make on their way. It could be a companion piece to The Road almost, a sort of prequel set a few years before.
While it is "slow" it only clocks in about 84 minutes which is far too short in my opinion and I wanted more really. Something tells me that the film was originally much longer but cut down by the producers to please the teens who all seem to hate it anyway.
Good film, crap marketing.
