There's the AH1N1 virus circulating. It's spread caught the world by surprise, and since it was a new virus, and the media reported deaths, it was only natural that people were alarmed. Countries started counting the number of infections and casualties, but the truth was that swine flu was no more severe than the typical flu and that people only had problems because of complications and when treatment was not immediately made available.

Now there's a horror movie called Carriers. It's about a group of people who are trying to escape being infected by a virus that makes people deadly sick and makes them look like they're straight out of the movie The Exorcist. Of course, it's all cinematic make up and other effects, but they look horrible and a lot of people reading this may find that the picture at the top makes their stomach turn.

The group has rules in order to survive. But of course, we all know that rules are meant to be broken, and this is so true in horror movies. So, when some rules are broken by some of the characters, the conflict resulting from the need to survive and the need to belong arises and turns the life of the group into hell, and that's when the real horror begins.

Carriers stars Star Trek's Chris Pine. In the beginning, he appears to be the good guy, but things take a turn for the worse when the virus catches up with them and Pine's character goes to extremes to keep the virus from spreading. Carriers is the kind of horror movie with science as a basis, and this makes it even more horrible because it is a reflection of what's really out there in the real world. The AH1N1 virus does not turn people into horror freaks, but people won't be able to help but feel fear of what could be a possibility.
