All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

Contagion (2011)



Starring: Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Lawrence Fishburne, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law, Marion Cotillard
Director: Steven Soderbergh

Premise:
An unknown virus sweeps its way across the globe infecting millions as doctors try to find a cure and government official try to keep order and normal people attempt to hold their lives together.

My Take:
What makes this movie so damn frightening is the scenario is 100% plausible.
It has a star studded cast, a top notch director, and a solid script. It's very interesting watching the different react to the spread of the virus, the containment, and handling a cure. Everything clicked for me.
You'll never want to shake hands with another person again.

Rating: So Good
