Wordiezett So much average

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

dmdb I only write reviews of movies with low rating, which actually are not that bad. Give them a chance!I didn't expect much of this movie, and at the end I realized it is just as I expected - watchable low-budget movie about apocalypse. I like movies about apocalypse and post-apocalypse, so that is the main reason why I watched it. If it was other genre, I would probably quit, but I managed to stay awake till the end.This is not a great film, it is slow and boring sometimes, but if you like post-apocalyptic movies you might enjoy it. Story is OK, nothing special, but yet different than other similar movies. Acting is fine, too.5/10

Seb Here's the simple acid test to determine whether you have created a viable work of fiction or not. At the end have you told a story or have you mainly filmed people running around a warehouse? In the case of Chrysalis it's very much the latter.The monsters don't look great and don't really do a lot either. There are some OK scenes if all you want is to see people running away from zombies through a warehouse. Myself, I would like a bit of story with that. Or even just some action. Also why the long scenes about a characters inability to read? It's not character development if it doesn't develop into anything. Or get referenced again throughout the whole movie. I was waiting for the scene where she was stood with a jar of penicillin and a jar of rat poison trying to read the labels or something.All the actors involved are bad but the girl is so stilted and wooden that it gets annoying to listen to her. At the end of the movie no story has been told. This is basically what I would expect from a movie cobbled together by amateurs with kickstarter money. Don't waste your time and don't be fooled by the ridiculous fake reviews either.

jfrank-21 I don't know why the hate for this movie I thought it was quite good. I suspect spamming by insiders and their minions who don't want creative new blood interfering with their gravy train of big budget Hollywood garbage films. Some elements of The Road and Blair Witch project but with the best post apocalyptic scenes I think I have even seen in a movie. OK, the zombie thing is getting stale as of 2014 but with Ebola going around this movie is also timely. I thought acting was good or at least good enough to put you into the scenes with the actors. Gary Indiana was a great location to film. Soundtrack was really good also. Hopefully we will see more from this group in the future.

jkurstin22 This movie is enjoyable beginning to end. One of the reviewers complained that it's low budget, and it is, so don't expect a $200 million blockbuster. It's beautifully shot, well written and acted, suspenseful without being too gory, and you actually learn and care about the characters.I watched Chrysalis for the first time in a movie theater, and I could feel and hear the entire audience reacting to the scares and emotional moments. The character development is real, and one of the things that makes this movie stand out.If you're looking for a post-apocalypse movie that actually feels post- apocalypse, and characters who talk to each other instead of just screaming and running all the time, then you should watch Chrysalis. If you want to watch World War Z, then go watch World War Z.
