*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by Midnight Releasing. Director: Ryan M. Andrews. Writers: Ryan M. Andrews and Chris Cull Cast: Christina Aceto, Richard Roy Sutton, Robert Nolan and Jennifer Polansky. Sometimes, titles are self-fulfilling prophecies. Canadian director Ryan M. Andrews' (Black Eve) foray into the zombie apocalypse film genre is the soon to be released Sick. This title, completed in 2012, involves a viral pandemic, which leaves few survivors standing. Lacking in good acting and conflict, Sick manages to get some of the dramatic bits right. But, this film offers so many awkward scenes, that it becomes difficult to watch. As well, the film's characters are more vile than the flesheaters, themselves. Character turns against character in this disappointing sci-fi adventure. Not plot driven, Sick is an unenjoyable time spent with a group of survivors, who might be better off dead. The film begins with a split narrative.
