Like a movie version of Survivors (the BBC series). Clever enough, well done tonally but things turn to shit a bit too rapidly. Could have done with a longer running time. Not bad by any stretch though

This is good for one watch, but it's another plot that's being overused lately with only minor twists: we're in some post-apocalyptic world (virus, war, zombies, whatever) tagging along with the coolest group of survivors, but they are all flawed and we explore that for about 80-90 minutes before an unsatisfying ending. Yay. Sign me up for the 20th time.

Do people ever bother to think these films through before they write them? The characters actions are scripted, reactions to their world, but simply feeble tempts by the writers to move the story along with clumsily crafted actions.

Nothing special, decent timewaster I guess. I still don't get why Chris Pine is getting big, though - he is like the anti-starpower.

Decent apocalyptic film that obviously didn't have a big budget or a wide release but I still enjoyed watching it. The four friends seem quite close but when it comes down to surviving they are willing to do what it takes. I found Brian to be rather unlikeable but it worked well for his character, unlike his very likeable brother Danny. Nothing majorly exciting happens like in most films similar to this so there are better apocalypse films out there, however its still worth a look as its good :)

A surprisingly decent horror film. The plot is engaging despite being expectedly predictable. The characters, though, are slightly annoying and the whole apocalyptic scenario is somewhat unconvincing and not atmospheric enough. But what keeps it from becoming a total crap is its competent handling of weightier issues of moral dilemmas and the disintegration of trust.

A very pleasant surprise, although it could be called "How to risk your life as much as possible during a pandemic of deadly virus" because the characters act like idiots most of the time. A depressing movie with a satisfying ending.

I was very surprised just how much I ended up liking this film. Sure, the movie is just a series of small moments as these characters cross the country, but even with the shoestring plot it's the acting that is engaging. I would have liked the movie better if it had a stronger ending, but unfortunately I think the decision the filmmakers made at the end was kind of weak. Still, 95% of what is there is amazing, and well worth the watch.

Not terrible while watching it, but in retrospect... Nothing happens, and the dialogue/characters aren't particularly interesting in any manner. It's better than Z-grade horror, but it's still barely passable.

This is a competently shot medium budget horror/thriller film but the dialog and characters were pretty terrible. The characters talk like they are in a college sorority or frat and act the same way. It seems entirely absurd that these characters would survive in any kind of post apocalyptic contagion scenario. The meandering inconsequential plot only adds to the mediocre quality of the film.

The Pastor´s paint a dark biohazard scenario. Considering that "Carriers" is the first work by them, they did a great job. Everyone who expect a brutal or thrilling Horror Flick might be disappointed. It is rather a Drama with some really intensive moments.

A good watch. The trailer has nothing to do with the movie, I don't know why they made such a stupid trailer but i guess i must be thankfull becaused it lowered my expectations. A really nice post-apocalyptic survival movie. Gets you in the mood. A god prep before The Road.

So-so horror movie with lots of cliches and no new ideas. Depite this it is still fairly well done and is a good way to pass an hour and a half. Still infinitely better than most mainstream horror movies so give it a shot.

If the characters weren't the most uninspired college dropouts this could of been a bit more than a watchable movie. Some dark themes were explored well but at the same time, you wish the movie was about the more interesting characters our college friends encounter.

The scale is a bit too limited to réally convey a feeling of despair. As such, you don't really care about the characters and their plight. Some good moments, and I'm always up for a society-breaks-down movie, but it peters out towards the end.

A zombie movie without any zombies. There are some gross-out scenes and the usual body horror stuff from a film about a deadly virus, but it's really more of a drama. The small cast is decent, with no one putting in an especially good or especially bad performance. Overall it falls solidly into my "forgettable" category, it was not bad but there was nothing that really stood out or hadn't been done before in better films.

Carriers establishes that you don't need rampaging military or zombies to make an outbreak movie effective. In a lot of ways it makes a companion piece to the road; the last vestiges of society are dead and the few survivors purposelessly drift like vultures. Infection and death are so prevalent as seem inevitable. The main problem in the film lies in making morality the center stage of all of the conflict, which makes the film something of a pessimistic downer you won't want to revisit.
