Three decades after
a major country is quarantined in hopes of containing a lethal and highly
contagious virus nicknamed "Reaper," signs that the super-bug has resurfaced
in a major city prompt desperate specialists to race back into the infected
zone to find a cure in director Neal Marshall's (The Descent) miasmic speculative
sci-fi thriller. Few could have foreseen the terror that the microorganism
known as "Reaper" would unleash upon the unsuspecting population, and when
terrified authorities quarantined the entire country in hopes of saving
the human race, the streets immediately descended into chaos. Thirty years
later, the inhabitants of planet Earth think that they've seen the last
of the merciless killer disease, but they couldn't be more wrong. When
"Reaper" reappears more powerful than ever in a major city, an elite group
of professionals led by Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra) are forced to travel
back into the sealed-off country where the virus first broke out in order
to create a cure and save humankind from certain doom. Now, as the rest
of the world anxiously awaits word of their ultimate fate, Eden and her
brave team are about to find out that there is indeed a hell, and they
are about to journey directly into its black, envenomed heart. Also in
the cast are Bob Hoskins and Malcolm McDowell, as well as a host of veterans
from Marshall's past productions, including Sean Pertwee, MyAnna Buring,
Craig Conway, and Nora-Jane Noone.
