Movie • 2008 • Sci-Fi

Is it terrorism, the accidental release of some toxic military bio weapon -- or something even more sinister? John Leguizamo and Betty Buckley co-star in this thriller from writer-director M. Night Shyamalan.

The majority of this movie is suicide deaths. woman smashing her face repeatedly on the side of a building near the end as well as a man sits in the street after a car accident and slits his wrist. Not super graphic but can hear the audio as well as see him do it

The entire film is about a toxin infecting people and causing them to commit suicide, sometimes taking others with them, but their motive is individual. (Example: multiple people in a car.)
