I see people praising the premise as unique, but if these poor suckers only knew it had been done before, they would realize what a dumpster fire this movie really is without originality on its side. This movie acts like it has an interstingI see people praising the premise as unique, but if these poor suckers only knew it had been done before, they would realize what a dumpster fire this movie really is without originality on its side. This movie acts like it has an intersting story to tell, and proceeds to go absolutely nowhere with it. If the entire movie were condensed into the first and/or second act of a more complete film, then maybe it might be worth something... but that's a big maybe. A plot where parents try to murder their children has so much potential (what? why? how? etc.) and even if you can tell a great story without having to go into full exposition as to what is causing the frenzy... for God's sake, at least hint at something. All we get here is 1) parents start killing their kids, 2) zoom in on one family in particular, 3) parents chase kids for rest of runtime. No explanation, commentary or perspective of any kind. After the opening shocker at the schoolyard (which isn't shocking at all since it just introduces the advertised plot,) there's maybe one interesting scene in a maternity ward, and even that one is cringily executed (YOU CAN'T HAVE A DISTURBING SCENE WITH ROXETTE PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND!!) This movie has nothing to offer except unfulfilled hopes of something intriguing, a paint-by-numbers run/hide plot and one (maaaybe two) crazy Nicholas Cage line fit for his lifetime psycho reel. That's it..... PLEASE do yourself a favor... find the Masters of Horror episode "The Screwfly Solution" and watch that instead.… Expand

I hated the tone of this film from the start. This is just a mess when it could have been something fun and silly in tone. It goes in a direction that is just dumb and over the line. Gonna be on the worst of the year list for sure. F

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was interested when I heard the concept of the movie, that something is causing parents to go crazy and kill their children, but while watching I felt that it didn't really live up to the potential. The movie feels like it's trying to have you sympathize with the kids half the time and the other half (in a dark comedic kind of way) sympathize with the parents, which just ended up making me not care about any of the characters. To make things worse, the ending just happens out of nowhere. No point to it, no resolution, just cut to black, roll credits. I will say though, it's a fun idea and crazy Nic Cage is always fun to watch, just frustrating that it could've been better and that they seemingly had no idea how to end it.… Expand

This movie was the most awful horror movie Iv'e seen with everything wrong in it. Terrible cinematography which can give you PTSD if you are not careful. The sound cues where terrible and did not match the feel of the scene. Also the "feel"This movie was the most awful horror movie Iv'e seen with everything wrong in it. Terrible cinematography which can give you PTSD if you are not careful. The sound cues where terrible and did not match the feel of the scene. Also the "feel" of the scene... well there was no feel at all, had no immersion and plot and the events as they unfolded where simply stupidly executed, shot and acted. Sloppy script with not a lot of backstory on the virus. No real conclusion or message to the movie. The "comedy" element was basically non existent and the humor was too. Overall this is a bad movie and I honestly want the length of it back in my life with time payed which was wasted seeing this.… Expand

Esta es una de las peores películas que jamas he visto, y no es broma. Era llamativa la temática que abarcaba, que los padres se vuelven locos y quieren matar a sus hijos. Pero simplemente termina siendo todo comedia absurda sin sentido,Esta es una de las peores películas que jamas he visto, y no es broma. Era llamativa la temática que abarcaba, que los padres se vuelven locos y quieren matar a sus hijos. Pero simplemente termina siendo todo comedia absurda sin sentido, personajes irritantes, personajes que reviven de la nada, personajes que salen de la nada y lo peor de todo un final que no explica nada, en fin, toda la película se la pasan contando cosas sin sentido como si los directores no se les ocurriera nada mejor para rellenar espacio. Por que se molestaron en mostrar escenas del pasado de la familia si al final no cumplen nada? Es que... DIOS! Que película mas incompleta y absurda!!! La única película que no me dio ni ganas de comerme los pochoclos de lo mala que es.… Expand
