Right now I'm looking around online for anyone that can explain what the hell this movie was about. I, as well as 90% of the people that watched this film, have no idea what the hell just happened in it. K so when you understand a certain word in the English language you get infected? then if you don't understand it all a sudden you are cured? Why did everything just stop at the end. Couldn't someone have came on and said "Well so and so this is what it looks like happened. Bla bla bla" and let us know how it spread and exactly how it got cured. I give this movie a 1/10 because nobody could understand a damn thing about what was happening.

Oh, and William S. Burroughs. Oh, and Laurie Anderson. Oh, and the entire tradition of Hermetic magic. And, say, a good half of the Japanese psych-horror films of the last ten years. It's not only far from "ridiculous," it's absurd that any worthwhile horror reviewer would not be aware of the concept, indeed, the whole genre, of memetic horror. Pretty pitiful work, but I guess we'll all be more comfortable once you've stopped trying to tackle anything scary and unusual and gotten back to some nice, simple action flicks. I hear Transformers 2 is really good for, um, people of your special needs?
