Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon re-entry over Central America. Soon after, new life form began to appear and half of Mexico was quarantined as an INFECTED ZONE. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain "the creatures". The story begins when a US journalist agrees to escort a shaken tourist through the infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the US border.

  • Writer/director Gareth Edwards reportedly did all the digital effects for the film himself.
  • This marks FX artist Gareth Edwards feature film directorial debut, who has until now only worked with television programs.

Just saw this over the weekend and I enjoyed it. This is a movie you like or don't like, especially if you're wanting to see alot of monster action. For the budget it was made on, this turned out to be a great watch. Crazy

I watched this over the weekend. It could have been a great movie but you can never see the MONSTERS clearly. You here them but never really see them.

Now I have to see this one, it looks worthwhile in viewing. Kind of reminds me of Cloverfield. Cool

I don't know why but the description sounds strangely like District 9.
