Based on Michael Crichton's book, this picture is about the attempt of a US scientist team to fight a deadly alien virus that has killed everybody in a village except a child and an old drunk.
Featuring elaborate sets for highly advanced science lab, this movie made in 1971 is truely ahead of its times.
This movie could be a major sleeping pill to begin with but soon catches pace and takes you along with it -- hoping that these scientist -- as so many do -- will save the world for us.
The cast is largely unknown -- I guess an attempt to deglamorize the ambience. The entire picture is actually gloomy and at times devoid of feeling. However, the tense situations are handled well and do communicate the task at hand.
