A nasty virus has spread throughout the human race turning the population into something ...else. After a brief setup (and a messy hit and run) we’re introduced to an ambulance and its four occupants. Sonia and Marco are together and riding with two police officers. Tensions rise between them as they head for a mythical research facility called NOAH that is reportedly infection free and working on a cure, and circumstances lead to Sonia and Marco holing up alone in an abandoned building. She’s pregnant, in love, and apparently immune to the virus… and she realizes that he’s been infected. He slowly transforms but her love for him refuses to give up on a cure, so she sets out to survive the onslaught of infected, attacks from still-human marauders, and the growing threat from her baby’s daddy.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Sadly Over-hyped

Orla Zuniga

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Sonia (a nurse/doctor) and her husband Marco have survived a mutation outbreak and are now on the run. Finding a place to take refuge, Marco gets infected with some contaminated blood, and is desperate to find a cue. As the infection takes days to mutate, Sonia is in a desperate race against time to help the love of her life, and ultimately face up to the possibility that she may lose him.We have all had our fair share of standard Zombie/Infected films. Everybody seems to want to be the next George A. Romero, and unfortunately its a case of "seen one, seen them all". Then comes along David Morlet's "Mutants". A film about an apocalyptic outbreak, with plenty of flesh eating mutants, but this film serves so much more of a purpose than others that have come before it. To me, the story of the apocalypse was a side story, as the real focus was on the controversial use of "Euthanasia" ... such a debate has been raging over this topic, and the subtle way that David Morlet uses this topic, was superb. Is it OK to end the life of someone who has no more quality in theirs? Is it OK to put someone to sleep, forever? The question is constantly asked throughout the duration of the film, and shows the impact and heartbreak that even the thought can produce. The fact that this infection takes days to mutate and not instant, gives the viewer a false sense of a positive outcome. It shows that sometimes hope can be cruel, and we go along with the two characters, as things just go from bad to worse. Combining this strong psychological element with superb, isolated, cinematography, a strong soundtrack, above average acting, with gore and blood to add, this movie stands out as a very unique addition, to a very tired sub genre. Highly impressive!

When I bought this movie from Amazon I hadn't heard about it before, and I came upon it by sheer luck as I was browsing through a search of zombie movies. So I read the description and thought it sounded alright.Now, the term zombies was used, although I think that term is relative. Because the creatures in this movie aren't really zombies as per the typical zombie term. They are showing some level of intelligence and they are quite fast and agile, running around at high speeds. For me, that doesn't really work and doesn't qualify as a typical zombie. No. For me, zombies are slow, shambling, brain-dead undead beings, husks of their former selves.Putting that aside, zombies or not, "Mutants" isn't a bad movie. It was shot in a very nice location, and there is a sense of isolation brooding in the movie. And the movie is good in building up a slowly growing sense of dread, as the events occur.And mind you that the movie is in French, if that might discourage you. I didn't catch up on that fact before I got the DVD and checked the backside of the cover. I don't mind foreign movies at all, just a friendly heads up if you got a thing against movies in other languages.I wasn't familiar with anyone in this movie, and that worked out well for me, because then there was no associating the actors/actresses with other of their previous roles. And the people in the movie actually did good jobs with their given roles."Mutants" had a good special effects crew on it, and the mutants (or zombies, as you prefer) did look good. However, I don't fully understand how Marco's face could have changed that much in so little time. But hey, who am I to understand how this disease works? There is a lot of good action scenes in "Mutants", and they are well executed. And the movie also holds a good amount of character building and lets you get to feel for the characters.All in all, "Mutants" is a good thriller, however I was sort of disappointed as I was expecting more of a typical zombie movie. "Mutants" isn't a bad movie at all, just don't watch it with the expectations of a Romero zombie movie, "Mutants" is more in the likes of "28 Days (or Weeks) Later".

Since there have been more zombie movies than talk shows coming out during the past ten years, it's becoming very difficult for directors/scriptwriters to surprise the fans with something new and original. This French effort tries to achieve this through blending the zombie mayhem with a tale of true love. Like "Zombie Honeymoon" already tried back in 2004, "Mutants" revolves on a woman who loyally stands by the side of her man even though he's going through several phases of "zombification". In a completely desolate and daunt snowy landscape, ambulance drivers Marco and Sonia are ambushed by mutants (victims of a worldwide virus) and Marco gets infected. Sonia, who is strangely immune for the virus, takes him to an abandoned army facility and tries to delay the impact of the virus as long as possible. "Mutants" is slightly better than the aforementioned "Zombie Honeymoon", simply because the atmosphere is much grittier and the situation more hopeless. As a viewer, you also grow to care for Sonia a lot more than you would for the averagely stereotypical protagonist in any other random zombie movie, and it definitely helps that the gorgeous Hélène de Fougerolles gives away a wonderful performance. "Mutants" is also a very gruesome and gory flick, although without being exploitative. The gratuitous zombie kills/killings are kept to a modest amount, but the make-up effects are excessively nauseating. That's a positive comment, mind you! In all honesty, this is a very decent and admirable horror movie, yet for some reason I can't be overly enthusiastic about it. The wholesome felt very derivative and mundane, definitely not a film I'd bother to see again or even recommend to someone else.

It's not that Mutants is the goriest thing I've ever seen (though it is pretty damn gory), it's just that it is so consistently gory, without pause, with thick, syrupy blood constantly splashing around in just about every frame of it, with no humor or character development or even conversation for that matter, that it just left me dizzy and queasy. It's so relentlessly gory that it's hard to even be scared by the things jumping out at you while you're still recovering from gagging and grimacing. The lighting is well done; the entire movie seems to appear through a light blue filter. I want to say that the acting is good but there isn't much acting beyond crazed zombies akin to those from 28 Days Later flailing around aimlessly and biting and eating human flesh, and screaming and running and fighting and some arguing. The notion of the relationship between the woman and her infected man gives this a new spin but otherwise this is just a pile of bits and pieces taken from other zombie apocalypse movies piled together into 90 minutes of blood splatter.
