It starts out with a couple who are going to a secluded cabin on a island to rekindle their marriage. After a few days of being there and the audience given a clue that something happened to make the couple drift apart, a bloodied army guy arrives telling them that a disease has spread through out the world killing everyone. (personally I thought zombie but SPOILER ALERT, its not).
The movie may start slow, but you are actually intrigued with what is happening with the couple and until the army guy shows up you are trying to piece together what happened to shake the marriage. As the movie progresses you begin to wonder, is the disease real or not? You will be guessing until the end that doesn't disappoint you.
Personally, I wouldn't buy this movie. I liked it, not loved it. But, I would recommended it. It's worth the price at the redbox.
N: I agree with D. A lonly island with only a few inhabitants is a great setting for a thriller movie like this. The characters play their parts well. I enjoyed watching Cillian Murphy in this movie. He was great in 28 Days Later... so back to this movie. The marrage is on the rocks, so it would seem that taking a vacation would solve the problems, but secretes are keeping them from reconnecting. But wait. To make matters worse a stranger appeares on the island. An army guy that seems to have gone AWOL. He as well has secretes that are far more terrifying and at some point he tries to warn them of a virus that has spread killing millions. Until the very end I could not determine if a virus had actually been real or if it was all in the army guys mind. This physiolgical mind bender is a worth while movie to watch.
