Carriers Movie Review | Local Movie Review

Rating: ★★☆☆☆

The infection has spread, millions have died, and phones are no longer working. We never know how a flesh-killing virus contributed to the extinction of functioning phones, but no worries. All we know is that there are four teenagers on their way to a beach where, according to them, the virus is absent. How do they know that the beach is free of the virus, since all forms of long-distance communication are down? Bloody teenagers, they think they know everything.

Do not be fooled, “Carriers” is more of a road trip than a post-apocalyptic thriller. Not much happens in its running time of eighty-four minutes. Our heroes live in a world that is dying, and they spend most of their time in the car, driving. (I noticed that, and correct me if I’m wrong, our teens occupy a Chevrolet. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned from this movie, it’s that in times of global epidemic, the “Chev” is the way to go.)
