This is a very well produced indy feature with a great title opening sequence. In fact, it has one of the best first five minutes I've seen in a low-budget movie. It seems that a bioengineering company in a small city has created a new virus, which has escaped and killed over eighty-people. The town is quaranteed by the authorities. We then cut to a young woman who is wandering the deserted town, seemingly alone. Until she starts getting used as target practice by a masked assailant. Why does he want to kill her? She gets shot in the shoulder and narrowly escapes. Later, she sets a trap and knocks the shooter off the top of the building. But this doesn't kill him. Then, we go to the same woman, looking rather insane, in a hospital. Was this all a hallucination? Or are these scenes in the psych ward made up in her mind? Later on, she meets another survivor in the desolate city, an old man, who legend has it, had survived in the nearby woods for the past fifty-years. His name is snake-boy. He's a very odd character. The movie keeps on going back and forth between what may be real/what may be a hallucination and you don't know, until the end, what's really going on. My only complaint is that the movie dragged after the first half hour, it just felt like it was doing the same thing over and over and by the time it ended I really didn't care. And the ending just didn't work.
