And wash your hands too

I am so so so so so so so so so so so excited about the upcoming movie "Carriers." So excited.

Basically Avian flu kills everyone in the world (especially Germans) and then they all turn into zombies who join together to try to infect (eat? scare? it's unclear what motivates zombies) the only four survivors, who are of course 20-something attractive Americans with an SUV who make the sage decision to drive across the country to an abandoned motel where they'll be oh-so-"safe".

(On a side note, why are all horror-movie viruses zombie viruses? Isn't bleeding out your ears and dying scary enough?)

Now I luuuurve horror movies, especially with a pseudo-medical component, and double triple especially if that element is a communicable disease. (Giant poisonous mutated animal will also do).

But what's funny about this trailer is that it is nearly indistinguishable from the training video I just had to watch on controlling infectious diseases. I mean, holding the mask to your face instead of firmly securing it with both elastic straps? Classic rookie mistake. (In my training video, the girl who forgot to wear her mask got TB. You don't want to know what happened to the intern who recapped a needle).

Anyway, here's the trailer. . . enjoy:



Note the menacing histology slides flashed at the beginning. . . microbes are scary!
