Continuity mistake: When the police car rolls out of the car wash, both passenger and driver's doors are open. When the shot changes to the deputy holding the rifle, the driver's door is closed. In the next shot both doors are open again.

A small Ohio town is struck with a discontinued madness toxin, the military has orders to shoot to kill everyone, and only the local sheriff, his deputy and his wife try to escape this nightmare in this 2010 movie (a remake of the 1973 movie of the same name). Some very scary moments, sarcastic humor, and decent performances by Radha Mitchell and Timothy Oliphant make this worth watching.

Russell Clank: Is he dead?
David Dutton: Well if he is, he won't mind waiting.
Question: Why did the soldiers shoot the non-infected people in the cattle trucks? Is there something going on here that I missed? Does everybody have the virus?
Answer: At this point, the army had decided to simply kill everyone from the town, rather than risk the infection spreading and to save the time and trouble of checking whether people were infected or not.
Also, they probably wanted to contain knowledge of what they'd done. No witnesses.
Answer: Possibly because the Government didn't want word about the virus getting out to the general public so they ordered the solders to shoot the non infected people in order to silence them all, and then created a cover story about a chemical plant exploding in the town.
