Trivia

The tranquilizer gun that is used on the lone werewolf that escapes from the line at about 10:55 is actually a Nerf Maverick toy dart 6 barrel revolver blaster. The top rear of the blaster has black tape over where the Nerf logo is. The type of darts that this blaster fires are foam with a soft rubber tip, not a sharp tipped tranquilizer dart.

User Reviews

Like Sharknado, without the humor

I can forgive the ridiculous plot and low budget. And as a career Army guy, I have learned to be tolerant of so many mistakes in portraying the military. But wow, why make them look like such slobs? Unshaven, pants untucked, etc sheesh! Even the guy playing the President (Bill Duke) wears an ill-fitting suit. He also looks too creepy for the role, hunched over and mumbling.

And one thing that really doesn't make sense - why would there be only one doctor working on this problem if it's a worldwide threat?
