Done on a [[micro budget]] of only $15,000, shot entirely on location,  and written and directed by Gareth Edwards this movie looks to put big budget movies to shame. From what I have read this movie has been shot by 2 people and all the effects were done on a computer. Incredible when you think of the millions and millions put into large budget movies.

Plot:

Alien life forms have spread throughout central America leading to the quarantine of half of Mexico. The U.S. and Mexican militaries are battling to contain the creatures, with a wall stretching along the American border. The story follows Andrew, an American photojournalist helping his wealthy employer’s daughter, Samantha, get back to America. Their journey takes them across Central America and eventually into the ‘infected zone’
