Deserves at least three more points than 6.4!! What a movie! I enjoyed every second and the end just left me wanting more, more, more!!
Okay, so this starts out like your everyday Hostel, Turistas, etc., except it follows two male friends. The title is self explanatory because in their travels one of them is 'Afflicted' by something. Both the main actors are convincing and real in their portrayals, bringing the plot that much closer to reality.
The movie keeps you engaged as the two friends twist and turn through unfamiliar territory trying to find out more about what is happening. The reveal, when it happens, is not overdone, blown out of proportion, mishandled, or exaggerated.
Do not be fooled into thinking this is a regular vampire/ zombie/ demon attack film! It is a much more deliberate storyline that brings home the uncertainties you deal with everyday. I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants a suspenseful thriller/ action film regardless of their history with horror.
Unlike in Jerusalem, stuff actually happens in this film, and there is no annoyingly screamy person to distract from the action!
