Carriers

Carriers is an interesting movie.  Set post a viral pandemic apocalypse, it's neither an adventure movie, nor horror movie.  The movie I think it's closest to is The Road (although it's not as good as that).  It's about two twenty-something brothers and their two girlfriends (sort of) on a long, post-apocalypse road-trip to the boy's families remote summer vacation spot.  Unlike The Road, this movie is set just after the apocalypse (the virus is still a real threat), and survival isn't the biggest focus of the movie.  It's actually a movie about the realtionship between siblings, and the fact that the setting is so horrific just highlights and intensifies all the usual complications between brothers.  A strong B.
