id let her in if it was a case of me in the house and her outside.
but in the film its not just down to her or him. there are other considerations.........

the love is not what you are feeling.

I'm afraid the film is extremely accurate, in all aspects, human behavior, dirty bomb detonation within a specific number of miles...



and I would not let her in, yet I love her.

LOL!

This plot might work with a friend outside maybe...but not your damn Wife!
Christ, in real life, everyday, around the globe,  people go through CERTAIN death to save their family...let alone simply opening a door where the risk is no higher than a MAYBE.
She's your Wife!!!

I truly believe I'd never even think about it!  She'd race up to the door, knock on it, and i'd whip it open quick and see if she's okay.

You can always say 'well everyone is not the same'..well yeah, but for a film to have any kind of realistic hold you can't base the whole plot around a thing that perhaps 1% of the audience would do!  It just becomes one long, silly, frustrating exercise then with no link to the audience.

So the only defense of the movie you are left with is;
He hates her.  So then who cares?
Or,  that he does not exactly hate her, but...yer know...he ain't that bothered about her really.  In which case I'd rather take my chance outside anyway.  And just to piss him off, I'd chuck a freakin' brick through his window as I left.

Either way....we have nothing to make a film about.

And is it really worse having your Wife possibly murdered by someone else than it is possibly murdering her yourself if you don't let her in?!

May the screenwriter never work again.

And would anyone not want to shout at the TV screen..."Just kick the damn door open woman"!  According to the blurb (just to add more c**p to the heap of c**p this plot is already encased in) it's a 'THIN door'!!

BAH!  These f**kers deserve to die!

Florida is being used as a location spot now too.

Not at all!  If you loved your wife you would simply let her in!

IF you KNEW for a FACT she WAS contaminated then you would have some kind of 'what would you do' drama.  
But this film does not do that.

So no, sorry, if all it is 'MAYBE there is a CHANCE she MAY have been contaminated PERHAPS'...and you love your wife...you'd simply let her in!

In fact lets go out of our way to give this film any kind of validation.

There is every chance she is not contaminated, but will be if you leave her out there.
So you let her in (she is your damn wife after all) and it's film over.

Even the most moronic householder would know you can't make a house air tight!  As such if there is anything in the air....and air gets in a million ways....you may as well open the door and let her in!  Either to hope it passes you by, or just to not die alone.
Whatever...it's still film over.

The premise is absurd and for a supposedly scarily realistic theme it is in fact based in no reality of how anyone (or at least those that are not utter dogs) would ever act towards their Wife.
Unless you hated her!  And then you don't have a film anyway.

Who greenlighted such a stupid concept?

Like Mark Kermode stated ages agoo...the film fails as soon as it starts as the premise is stupid.
Unless you hated your Wife, you'll simply open the door quick and hope for the best.

Film over.

And if the guy hates his Wife, then who cares.  Where is the drama.  Let the cow die.

Film over.


Either way...it's film over.

This is at the top of my need to watch list. I read good things about the film in both Fango and Rue Morgue, plus Cochrane is always great. I'm not sure about the cover though, if I hadn't heard about it before hand the artwork would probably turn me off of checking it out.
