In
a remote part of the East China Sea, a desolate island is bombarded
with meteors carrying a strange virus that seems to have infected the
isolated tribes, turning them into 'zombies' (lethargic soulless people).
A group of five young explorers, led by Kaidi and Qingyun, go to the
island to investigate for he Discovery Channel. They immediately discover
something is NOT right there. The island appears
to be completely deserted now but they find a chasm filled with piles
of bones. Especially disturbing is the vegetation, legions of vines
are creeping and multiplying before their eyes. Then comes the appearance
of 'mysterious people' which ignites a sudden wave of fear and the resulting
bloody chaos.
This
is a big-budget adventure horror movie from mainland China that manages
to skirt the censorship issues usually associated with supernatural
stories (the Ministry of Civil Affairs forbids any film with 'Feudalistic
Ideology' including "Spirit possession, witchcraft, etc.")
by pushing the blame to scientific cause-and-effect.
