The unintentional prediction this movie displays about a pandemic is both amusing and saddening. High-ranking officers, arguably the best in the region, struggled with these Demonic zombie-like creatures, and I don't think sending in additional soldiers will give different results. The traditional Zombie-like creatures we’re used to seeing in apocalyptic movies are plentiful. This series gives a fresh take on the trope, adding in Catholicism with a dash of insanity. The creatures are somewhat similar of “deadites” in the Evil Dead universe. The demons are less talkative in this series, but still haunting to think about. The rogue scientist priest, Named Owen, is a perfect example of knowing how to defend himself if given a task dealing with drastic circumstances.

This all could have been avoided if Jennifer's parents scheduled a rabies shot. Now, this world is crumbling before us with more movies to go. I'm so sure(sarcasm) Cujo didn't mean to bite your face, it was only a playful nibble. Well, that playful nibble has turned you into Damian 2.0, with your mother converted to shark bait. It's always the children to either save the day or ruin it for the rest of us in Horror movies.

The singular mission is to extract blood from patient zero, create the antidote and save the world from peril, of course, as luck would have it. We are left with dimwitted officers afraid of the incorrect things. While fire out of nowhere might be startling, children of the air duct easily Trump flammable blood. We don’t know exactly who hired this priest, or in all honesty if he was hired to begin with. There were no cryptic messages to be said from the priest, as he was ready to tell all about the heinous evil that lives upon them. The only mystery is Tristana Medeiros, The original Strain.

She’s the troll-like creature in this movie, I tastefully gave her a nickname too. She wanders only through the apartment where Angela was taken in the first film. Almost ghost-like, appearing out of nowhere. The group containing swat members, a rogue priest, and the newly and freshly terrified Angela all venture deeper into the darkness of this woman’s crypt-like dwelling. They discover the darkness alone reveals her true resting place. The trickery about this dimension-like door is a nice touch in showing there’s more to this virus. The struggle between Owens and Angela's priorities leads to a soldier being killed by Angela, and the reveal that she is now the new host. Killing the Medeiros woman did not cure or halt the strain. The leech-like parasite will continue to slime its way from vessel to vessel until the world crumbles.
