M. Night Shyamalan Director

previously directed Lady in the Water

When a deadly airborne causes people to kill themselves in the northeastern United States, teacher Elliott Moore and his wife flee from contaminated cities into the countryside in a fight to discover the truth. Is it terrorism, the accidental release of some toxic military bio weapon, or something more sinister?

Trivia:

The film was shot in sequence.

Quote: Alma Moore

It makes you kill yourself. Just when you thought there couldn't be any more evil that can be invented.
