Radius [Movie Review]

Radius [Movie Review] | Where do I get to watch all these movies as some of them are not available on Netflix? I searched high and low for a website that has them. 

I have a list of interesting movies that I want to watch (based on online reviews) and then I will google for a website that will allow me to watch them for free. Quality-wise? Some are very poor but I watched them anyway - as I want to watch the movie. Hahaha.

So, Radius is another movie that is on my list. So, here goes!

• The movie is inspired by the film Oldboy (2003) where a man and a woman have a mysterious connection and a Superman comic book (1980s) in which Superman cannot return to Earth without killing the human. 
• The movie is shot entirely in chronological order. 
• The budget for the movie is very low. For the scene where a body was being dumped into the pond, it was actually a bag full of potatoes that later they have to add rocks when the bag still afloat. 

A man wakes up from a car crash with blood all over him. He flags down a passing car. The car almost knocks him down. He looks inside the car and it seems that the driver is dead, with her eyes turned all white. 

Realising that he doesn't even remember his own name, he checks his wallet and learns that his name is Liam Hartwell. Liam walks towards the town and stops at a diner, intending to ask for a ride home. Everyone in the diner is also dead with their eyes turn white. 

He arrives home and learns that the news speculates a virus may be responsible for the mysterious deaths. Later, he realises that he is somehow the cause of the death of people around him when animals drop dead as he nears them. 

Later, a woman knocks on his door and to his surprise, did not fall dead as per others. She tells him that they were travelling together when the accident happen but neither knows why they were travelling together. She tells him that the hospital named her Jane Doe as she also didn't remember anything about the accident or herself. 

When Jane tells Liam that her hospital test results come up with nothing, they both agree to investigate the crash site. They arrived at the site and surprised to see a charred circle at the site. 

Liam thinks that they created the circle and Liam causes people to die around him, except for Jane. Fearing for her life, Jane flees the site. A passing cop stops and questions them. As soon as Jane walks away, the cop drops dead. 

Liam uses a goat to prove his theory about the mysterious deaths. When Jane walks over 50 feet from the goat, the goat drops dead. And it seems that when they both are together and not more than 50 feet apart, they cancel off the death effect on everybody else. 

So, they have to stay together no matter what if they want to stop the body count. And more memories about their lives start coming up as time goes by. Together with the memories, more mysteries and perhaps answers come up about them travelling together in the first place.

What actually happened and who is Liam and Jane?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.2/ 5.0 As their memories come back in pieces, more plot twist comes along with it. And each memory brings a surprise/ twist to the plot. 

So, don't blink or you'll have to rewatch the movie. Haha. 

Cast: 4.3/ 5.0 The actors delivered their parts nicely. But somehow I feel that the actors could do much better with better scripts. 

Will I watch it again: Nah. Once is enough.
