Overview

Five university friends gather at a house party to ring in the New Year. Unbeknownst to them, an epidemic has erupted outside, causing outbreaks around the world. With nowhere else to turn, they barricade themselves indoors with only their phones, laptops, and other tech devices. They use their devices to research the possible cause of this outbreak. Information and video footage over flow their computers as they descend further into the cause and the ensuing chaos. As the virus spreads, the mood in the house changes from fear to paranoia. Who is safe? Who can they trust? Reality becomes blurred as they slowly discover the source of the virus causing the sickness...and there is no going back.

Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend. This is such a great concept for a story, but unfortunately it didn't get the budget or the star power to meet its potential. I love the ideas behind the viral infection. Designing the infection in the manner they did allowed for multiple clues and stage of infection to creating interesting story points. The cast manages to create the necessary atmosphere of panic and ignorance throughout the movie. Like a lot of horror movies, it is fueled by stupidity and desperation in a spectacular fashion of adversity. Honestly one of my "cheap" horror movie concepts.
