Review of Contagion (2011) by Amanda H — 19 Aug 2012

I had heard great things about this movie, but put off seeing it for a long time because normally I despise doomsday flicks of any kind and this sounded like something I had seen a million times before.

And in a lot of ways it is, but the acting is so good and the plot so engrossing that I didn't care. This is highly disturbing and made me pretty uncomfortable, but in all the right ways.
