About
You’ll like Carriers if you want a bleak, character-driven virus apocalypse with nonstop distrust and tough moral choices; Not for you if you need faster action or a more uplifting ending, and if you prefer the vibe of World War Z or Bird Box.
Pros: tense paranoia; serious tone; strong performances | Cons: slow pacing; predictable obstacles; often feels pointless
