Sometimes a strong movie gets the shaft as to its distribution (100 FEET
anyone?), being put out fairly unnoticed when it deserved so much more. That was the case with
CARRIERS; a pretty tight film directed by
ALEX and DAVID PASTOR, starring CHRIS PINE and
hottie PIPER PERABO. I was lucky enough to see this badass “peeps must survive a
virus in a post apocalyptic world” opus on the big screen via the
2009 SITGES FILM FESTIVAL. With only a couple of hours of sleep on my side, the
movie kept me awake and involved via its potent storyline, powerful directing/editing style,
emotionally charged demeanor and finer than red wine on a hooker’s ass acting.
When I got back to North America, I was bummed to see that it didn’t
get a proper release (limited for the birds in September). Thankfully, the film will finally get a wide
release, on DVD come December 29, 2009 and I urge you all to see it. Its not
perfect by any means, more of a drama than a horror film, but still superior to
most of the shit that hits the big screen. To get my full thoughts on it, read

and to make up your own mind about the picture,
GET THE
DVD HERE or rent it for a pleasant night in at the movies. Its a strong
picture that deserves to be seen. I hope you dig it as much as I did.
