I’m waiting for the release of this series as a fan of the good old horror with genuinely creepy vampires.

I also enjoy it all. In addition, we emphasis on the biological changes a person infected with the virus. This is not a horror in its purest form and not just a thriller. Strain combines several aspects. Thus it will be interesting to fans of horror.

Exactly. And I also enjoy the struggle for survival.

I now know so many new things about survival! Useful, I must say, the information …

You can call yourself a horror fan?

Apparently, we can expect a lot of action with a fair amount of bloody violence. Is there a scene that you particularly waiting for?

Of course, there are some quite horrific scenes, but I can not apply to this account.Be ready to Kill and impressive special effects that look incredibly realistic! But do not expect a lot of blood. First, we look at the situation from a scientific point of view and try to imagine that all this actually happens.

Grim looks very impressive, you have used any special tools?
