Storyline

Definitely something terrible is happening on in the peaceful suburban community as, one day to another, former loving and caring parents mysteriously turn into ravenous carriers of an unfathomable pandemic that targets their offspring. Suddenly, every son and daughter (not only in the neighborhood but also in the entire nation) must to run for their lives, as the rage-filled murderous intent is simply as unstoppable as it is inexplicable. Of course, Brent and Kendall's teenage children are no exception, and before long, the simmering but usual familial tensions will take a completely different meaning. Kids, stop hiding. Mum and Dad love you so much.

Nic Cages barks like a Dog

There's nothing out of the ordinary or really memorable about this movie. Typical low budget thriller with some comedy thrown in. The best thing about this movie is that is allows Nic Cage to go full crazy to the point where you can't tell he's acting sometimes. The dude runs around barking like a dog for a while and I'm pretty sure it wasn't in the script.
