A must-see movie of it genre (by martosurf7600) |
While indeed the topic of a world-wide virus that kills everyone is a threadbare because so much bad movies that are based on it so much! , this very one film is EXCELLENT, in the line of REC, a must see movie you like the genre.I first caught it on I-SAT www.isat.tv , an Argentine cable channel that specialize in non-mainstream productions, one Wednesday at 1:30 AM and since the characters where suited in bio-hazard suits and spoke in Spanish, rioplatense Spanish actually, and one of them with cordobés accent, I think the movie was actually related to El Eternauta meaning Eternauta <more> |
Entertaining events in post-apocalypse alike, quarantined apartment building. It will make you think about how you and your neighbors would act (by JvH48) |
I saw this film as part of the "Imagine" film festival 2011 in Amsterdam. The story gets very close to a post-apocalypse situation. An apartment building is quarantined due to an unnamed disease. Apart from the initial appearance of health care personnel, and some helicopters we see and hear circling above the building, there are no interactions with the outside world. What we see happening is completely contained within the apartment building.Initially I was afraid that the story would focus too much on the seven month pregnant couple with their internal struggles, tensions and <more> |
A great parody of paranoid times! (by info-lacinerata) |
I still remember the time when the influenza pandemic made us all paranoids. This is a microcosm sample of that time. A few neighbors isolated in quarantine fighting each other for survival. Great gags, performances and music with moments of extreme stress. It is great to see Argentinian cinema renewing and betting on risky products. Ironic and somewhat bizarre at times, Fase 7 is a fantastic story that might not like everybody, though. But the discerning viewer can not deny that seldom has been so great production on this land and from now on we should not doubt about our filmmakers' <more> |
Amusing, kinda bonkers, apocalyptic movie (by queen_of_the_troubled_teen) |
So imagine if in Shaun of the Dead, Liz was 7 months pregnant, they'd just done their monthly supermarket shop and instead of going out, they'd decided to hole up in her block of flats. And the zombies don't bother to attack there are no zombies in Phase 7, but it has the feel of a zombie film . But the rest of the apartment block goes a bit mental. That would kind of be along the lines of this film. It's funny most the humour is pretty subtle but there are a few real laugh out loud moments and it is quite bonkers but in a really enjoyable way. It's maybe not fair to <more> |
Extremely happy with this film! (by Steiner_Rolf) |
You know, in the last few years, it seems the foreign cinema is out to show Hollywood what it's all about. There have been great French horror films in the last two years Prey and La Horde come to mind and now there is Phase 7 Fase 7 from Argentina.The movie centers around the lead character Coco and his wife, who are expecting a child. We learn that the wife is 7 months along. The story opens with them stocking up on groceries like they always do and bickering a little. They see a huge rush of people come in and furiously start shopping but don't really think anything of it.When <more> |
