Viewing Notes

Movie plays a lot differently having lived thru a real deal pandemic. Had forgotten that this is a plague story with everyone quarantined on the island. Wouldn’t classify this as horror but could understand if others see it as such.

I may even have included it on my underrated horror list for Brian’s blog ten years ago so yeah.
