That was an excellent one.

An absolute waste of money

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The Carrier has an interesting premise but suffers from bad dialogue and imagery that at times borders on the narmish. After a young man is attacked by a strange beast in the woods, he is contaminated with a bizarre illness. Anyone who touches something he has touched dissolves into smoke. For a low budget film, this has some very interesting ideas. It paints a compelling portrait of a town tearing itself apart and gives interesting consideration to religion as a divisive force. However, these ideas need further development and are overwhelmed by the film's flaws.The dialogue is terrible to the point of unintentional comedy. This starts from the beginning of the film, but enters the genuinely absurd when the outbreak begins. At one point, a supporting character yells "Bring me cats!" in order to test for the disease. Furthermore, as people dress up in plastic bags to protect themselves, the overall effect is comic.This film is worth a rent or YouTube watch, but wastes a lot of potential.

I saw this movie shortly after it was completed at the wonderful Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor. The house had a blast that night- great fun! This is a fantastic "bad" movie - fun to laugh at/with, hard to take seriously. The dialog isn't so wonderful, acting is not up on par with the best of Hollywood or anything but this could easily have become a cult film. The "sex among the trees" scene is so ridiculous, so over the top, so gross, it's great. I would love to see it again sometime.Favorite lines from the movie: "Touch the wall, Jake!", "Cats or death!" With lines like this, you gotta love this movie.

In defense of this movie, it is completely original. But don't you have questions about who and how it was produced? It seems like a whole town got together and pooled their limited resources to produce this film that must have been written by a local who had waaay too much acid in the 70's. But for some reason I find this movie affecting. Who can't relate to the main characters loneliness and isolation? But to all those complainers out there: People are always criticizing movies for being the same bland formula over and over-now here's one that's way different than most without being totally incomprehensible. My hat goes off to the people who made this movie. You tried, and sometimes that's enough.

For a small budget film, it has more heart and interest and originality than 90% of what passes for drama or horror coming out of Hollywood. The young actor, Gregory Fortescue, is attractive on many levels and effectively carries the film. Yes, it can be seen as an AIDS allegory....but it also presents a different take on the disaffected and confused young man...Gregory's character Jake can be seen as an AIDS victim....or as James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause...or as the Werewolf in American Werewolf in London. Unusual, original, recommended...just a little confusing at times.I found it on a bit-torrent site.Otherwise...hard to find.
