Martin Cigorraga While indeed the topic of a world-wide virus that kills everyone is a threadbare because so much bad movies that are based on it (so much!), this very one film is EXCELLENT, in the line of REC, a must see movie you like the genre.I first caught it on I-SAT (www.isat.tv), an Argentine cable channel that specialize in non-mainstream productions, one Wednesday at 1:30 AM and since the characters where suited in bio-hazard suits and spoke in Spanish, rioplatense Spanish actually, and one of them with cordobés accent, I think the movie was actually related to El Eternauta (meaning Eternauta 'ethernal astronaut', a well known sci-fi and political comic of Argentine's seventies) soon to realize it was a totally different story.The best think of the film are without doubt the acting and the oppressive atmosphere created by a well taken camera viewpoints and background music and the special effects were pretty cool too, I absolutely buy that everything on the movie was actually happening, the guns shooting, the sick people, the dead bodies, everything.I'm giving ten stars to this movie because it actually hypnotize me to the point of stop zapping, sit down, sharap and watch and for the euphoria I feel for the next hour after the movie ended.This is a great movie that will have you in a tense suspense for more than an hour and I hope you enjoy it as I did! BTW, this is definitely not a chic movie, so if you are a woman (little girls may still enjoy it) and you don't like it please don't rate it down, this movie it isn't for you.

giglbox 20 minutes in, bad enough. Smart one minute and stupid the next describes the pregnant girlfriend...unbearable. Maybe if I was fluent in Espanol I would rate this higher, but despite language it still has the same idiotic character flaws of pieces of crap like Halloween. "OMG, why would I think rationally in a situation such as this?" Because your in a B-flick that, if I had to guess, got decent ratings because it's not in English. A kind of "Well, they don't know that the 'I'm stupid and your stupid but somehow we will live' plot is stupid." I recommend the first 20 minutes and ask...are you irritated yet? But, hey, I can't truly bitch because I couldn't make it that long. So, allow me to offer up this suggestion, If you enjoy READING clichéd and just plain shitty stories then this movie may be for you. I found that having to read the Spanish didn't distract me one bit from the stupidity of the plot.

Shujja Haider well i would regretfully say that the other users rates it so high that it is standing at 6.5. so useless n lame movie. all the time i was wondering there will be some action, good thrilling scenes will be there for which people has rated it higher than it deserved. so boring and useless movie, neither it was thrilling nor action nor drama, i dunno what director was trying to create!! from start to end, the leading character coughs and makes the viewer think that he would be infected or show some worse symptoms but.. so many characters were fitted in the movie but all were useless. i think producer had wanted to waste his money that is why he put so many useless characters in the movie.. if u have a good time to waste then please waste it somewhere else than watching it..

Red-Barracuda A block of flats is quarantined off as a result of a deadly virus that is sweeping the world. The inhabitants quickly succumb to psychological deterioration as paranoia and claustrophobia set in.This Argentinean epidemic movie is pretty impressive. Its setting is necessarily limited but the film-makers make the most of it. The narrative is powered mainly by a decent array of characters, well played by the entire cast. The dramatic tensions in Phase 7 come not so much from the virus but from the interactions between the neighbours. As time goes on the microcosmic society of the tower block breaks down and primal instincts begin to take over. The scenario is not unlike one you would imagine J.D. Ballard coming up with, with its look at social norms deteriorating rapidly as they are tested under unusual conditions. The movie benefits too from a nice moody soundtrack that recalls the work of John Carpenter. There is at least one very well executed – and unexpected – gore scene too. In fact, the movie moves into some quite tense thriller territory in the final third. So overall, it tries to make the most of its basic set-up and deliver some suspense and atmosphere along the way. Phase 7 is a very worthwhile psychological sci-fi thriller.
