Well, now, if blood, gore, mutilation and violent sex/rape are your bag, then you will get a bang out of this splatter-fest. What a hoot! Wow...now THAT was a lot of blood! I've been watching a list of "The 15 Goriest Horror Movies Of All Time" (or something like that; I forget the actual name...) and so far, I've been under-impressed. This, though... This was definitely one for the ages, when it comes to blood, violence, and gore. Granted, it takes a few minutes (I think about a half-hour) to really start getting into things but once they develop, they develop fast and furious (to steal a line from another movie that's probably a bit more well-known than this one!) I wanted to give this one a "9" rating simply because it was so flippin' bloody violent but in all honesty, the lack of a real storyline caused me to ding it a little bit. I mean, if we're being honest, this is a rehashed story that's been done numerous times; this time they just went over the top with it. But yes, lack of originality caused me to ding it a star. Apart from that, however, if truly horrific, violent movies are your bag, then sit back and prepare to enjoy a real feast here. The original language is in Chinese but it's VERY easy to watch with English subs; takes nothing away from the film. The acting...well, that's a laugh: I mean, we're talking about nothing but surviving a bloodbath of viral infections that turn everyone into sadistic, raping murderers, so where's the need for any real cinematic theater in that? LOL Seriously, though, the acting - what little need there was for any - was okay. The opening scene with the couple waking up in bed seemed pretty wooden and awkward, not at all natural like a real couple would be but after that, I mean, honestly...after that, the world blows up and who cares about acting...just watch the violence.

I recently watched another movie on that same list that was touted to be _"99 minutes of torture and graphic violence"_ but that was almost laughable. (It actually _wasn't_ laughable; it was very aggravating and a huge let-down.) This movie basically is what I was expecting to see in that aforementioned movie ( _Martyrs_ ). It's not for the squeamish, and it's not for those who are looking for a more "traditional" horror movie. I would "recommend" (and I use the term very loosely) this only to those who are looking for ultra-violent, ultra-graphic, completely sick, twisted, perverted movies with buckets of blood, guts, and gore and who don't really care if the storyline is all that great. This fits the bill perfectly.

In the meantime, _"I'll keep an eye out for ya..."_ now has an entirely different meaning.
