Storyline

Chrysalis is a post-apocalyptic horror film, set 25 years after a biological terrorist attack unleashes a virus upon the world, transforming much of humanity into vicious creatures and laying waste to civilization. The remnants and survivors have staggered about for years, as the "infected" slowly starve and die off. Our story follows Joshua (Cole Simon) and Penelope (Sara Gorsky), two such survivors who have banded together in the hope of rescuing others and hopefully rebuilding civilization. When they encounter Abira, the lone survivor of another group, their worlds and goals are irrevocably altered, and they must face new and terrifying challenges if they are to survive.

Quick Review

Hey all, Just a quick review here to say, WOW, what an intriguing movie. I seen the review score prior to watching this movie, which did throw me off a bit and as a result I was quite sceptical before watching. However, I have just finished watching this movie and I must say, it is well worth a watch! No 'AAA' Hollywood budget here but credit where credit is due, this movie is worth a watch and more! If you are looking for suspense, horror, intrigue and a well directed script this is the movie for you In my opinion this is definitely a 7.7/10!!!! A severely underrated movie, ignore the low scores give it a view, you will not be disappointed!
