Liam's first assessment is that a virus is present in the air, but he soon discovers the horrible truth: anyone who comes within a 50-foot radius of him dies instantly.

I Loved this film for the concept but the twist and the ending were predictable.
I would have liked it better if it had an abduction scenario included but what they used was still, science fiction. Basically, a circle of death around you unless the other component is within that circle.

Now, technically, they failed miserably in depicting the zone of death effects.
If it truly was a zone of death, it would have also affected plants because they are alive too.
Still the effects were enough for the movie and the point. So, birds and people and farm animals are toast but bushes and grass is safe.

I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars just for the concept and the production values.
Would have been a 5 of 5 if they had done better on the ending and used a different twist.
This movie is certainly worth watching, especially for science fiction fans.

This would be a seriously demented (dark universe type) concept for a set of X-Men twins.

So, somehow the woman he is with prevents the deaths? That's what I got from that great trailer.
