Panic at Rock Island

Even Kylie Mole would not be proud of this one. As an Australian I apologise and ask that every effort is made to limit collateral damage. I.e. innocent people outside of Australia viewing this in the hope of being entertained. This movie is so bad that it could actually suck the will to live out of the Australian film industry. It achieves this by being a blight on the resume of all involved. A bit like the nations that did not join in with the invasion of Afghanistan. Those not involved now look intelligent and have saved mountains of money by not touching it. Those who did not participate in this movie look good by default. I am genuinely sorry for the many young actors involved who could have spent the day serving tables and flipping burgers without suffering anything like the embarrassment that is to come for those associated with this movie. The only thing that could have saved it was the seasoned experienced actors, but they too contracted the perennial Australian disease of toxic over-acting and taking themselves too seriously. One episode of "Misfits" ,channel 4 UK, and you can see how TV productions can be done well.

This film is bloody brilliant.

Simply, coinciding with a music festival at Rock Island,a couple stumble upon a body in a tunnel that leads to the island. The tunnel however begins at AVP a research facility that has been creating diseases etc. as weapons. The couple get onto the island and then all hell breaks loose as the infection breaks loose.

The cast is terrific, and includes some of my favourite Aussie actors such as Grant Bowler, Damian Walshe-Howling and Vince Colosimo. All perform well.

The writers surely had some fun with this, and I loved the not so subtle attacks on the NSW government, politics and politician in general, and on big business, and how they can both get away with anything yet are obviously the cause of or ignorant to the problems faced by the people.

A thoroughly enjoyable film, and my only complaint is that its wasn't longer! This would have been terrific as a mini series!

The movie is great , fresh story , there was few more movies based on a viruses , but each movie is about zombies \ undead eating flash mutants . this one , is more realistic , you face a problem that can happen any time , you see how is the government react , its awesome , yes the movie is a low budget but its great , the story is fine , the effects are pretty good for the low budget , even the actors are fine , if anybody remember Cooter from True blood , the Werewolf leader? he's a great actor , anyways i am digging to much if you didn't seen this movie yet , you should . you won't regret , and you don't like movies but you like deadly viruses this movie is for you , if you hate both don't even try to watch!

Pathetic, obviously no research went into this especially how they conducted the autopsy, a grade 4 and they autopsies the way they did.

Only 2 police officers on the island to control crowd with. Few security officers, pathetic. Gee how did the bloke get into the tunnel without infecting anyone else on the mainland. Crap ending, another pathetic oz movie. Lots of discrepancies. We took the mickey out of it all the way through. Low budget, C grade acting, the pits. Low budget, worthless entertainment. Come on win you can do better than this. The story line was nothing and predictable. These type of virus movies have been round for years

let me start off by saying that this movie literally made me angry. i've seen chimps acting smarter then some of the people in this movie. first off. the ministers not taking a virus threat serious. And their medical response team, in America if you just as much have a single symptom of a dangerous disease the CDC comes in and quarantines the hell out of it in 40 minutes. they clearly haven't done their research. its really frustrating especially since they clearly had a decent budget. all and all the acting wasn't half bad its the story writers who messed up

P.S Sorry for any grammar error's English isn't my first language
