About This Movie

The film captures the raw desperation of a father racing against time to save his son from a rabies virus outbreak, instigated by a Russian junkie spiraling under Krokodil's influence. It has this gritty, almost claustrophobic atmosphere that amplifies the horror. The pacing is relentless, pulling you into a world where the line between humanity and monstrosity blurs. Practical effects are utilized effectively, creating some haunting visuals of the infected. Performances feel grounded and visceral, particularly the father’s relentless drive.
