But still the long whine sessions were just so inartful and overlong that I used the little 10-seconds-forward to get past them, and missed nothing. I think it's interesting that no one used the "v" word at all. What planet were these people living on? But that's an acceptable choice in storytelling, I guess. I also liked how people did not necessarily lose their humanity, that some personal ties remained. And Leeza's discovery, at the very end, was sadly appropriate and not glossed over. Overall, an engaging story, beautifully filmed, but could have used a lot less monologue, and better aging makeup, though that's also on the lighting crew. I have to hand it to the filmmakers for drawing so many parallels to today's social issues, which is not always easy to do in horror. So thanks for piquing my interest with your post. I might not have watched it otherwise.
