Imperfect, but I enjoyed it.

Admittedly the movie is a mess, and there's no arguing that. However, I disagree with others that the movie didn't know whether it wanted to be a drama or a horror flick. It started as a farm drama that turned into terrifying unexpected body horror. It was the sudden transition that made it so effective, in my opinion.

The sound was very interesting, and no one has commented on this. At one point, one of the characters remarks that there is no sound of animals or insects. Then as the infection progresses, there are very strange background sounds. I'm not sure if this is the hallucination of the characters or if it's the local fauna that have mutated ala Lovecraft.

Finally, I didn't understand the ending. After most of the characters die, the farm is productive again with the remaining characters, and there seems to be a happy ending. Is that a hallucination they are having as they are dying?

The movie was different. I liked it. But again, not without a lot of problems. Thanks for your time, guys. This is my first review on IMDB.
