This blatant AIDS allegory (ok, we get it, we don't need to see the entire cast wrapped in plastic throughout the movie), is inept and put together with no filmmaking skill (don't trust me, trust the facts: Nathan J.White hasn't directed another film since 1987). It is set in a provincial town stereotypically inhabited by ignorant hicks who, in a crisis situation, turn into bloodthirsty madmen. And after the initial pretenses of seriousness, the film turns "comic" and silly. Oh, and if you can't afford convincing special effects, why bother pretending that gruesome deaths occur, only to keep them off-screen? (*1/2)
