Overview

A nasty virus has spread throughout the human race turning the population into something ...else. After a brief setup (and a messy hit and run) we’re introduced to an ambulance and its four occupants. Sonia and Marco are together and riding with two police officers. Tensions rise between them as they head for a mythical research facility called NOAH that is reportedly infection free and working on a cure, and circumstances lead to Sonia and Marco holing up alone in an abandoned building. She’s pregnant, in love, and apparently immune to the virus… and she realizes that he’s been infected. He slowly transforms but her love for him refuses to give up on a cure, so she sets out to survive the onslaught of infected, attacks from still-human marauders, and the growing threat from her baby’s daddy.

Viewing Notes

A French zombie flick recommended to me by Netflix Instant. This is why I love Netflix so much. I would have never given this flick a chance when browsing through a video store.

MUTANTS is actually a somewhat fresh take on the tired Zombie seb-genre. What would you do if your loved one was bite and will inevitably turn into a blood thirsty creature?

The last act turns into a straight up zombie/monster survival flick. The gore is brutal and well done. Also, there are a few great “body horror” sequences. This os a great calling card for director David Morlet. I hope he keeps making films.
