This was beautiful. It must be a strange experience, being a child of a great director, and following the very same genre. Do you go pretty much the same route, or try something vastly different?

But it's done well as a woman gets her face scratched by a mask and the same thing happens in the movie, several times what happens in reality also happens in the movie. Chaos enues fast as mre and more people are contaminated, and the heroes (and other characters we like to…
