Plague

 

Plague 2014

  • Director: Kozakis and Ouzas
  • Based on the book: no
  • Cast: Tegan Crowley, Don Bridges, Scott Marcus, Steven Chianai
  • Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
    • None of them
  • Why? Australian dystopia
  • Seen: 4 April 2023     

       A small group of survivors of an Australian plague turning folks into zombies are holed up in a farmhouse. Despite the dangers Evie (Crowley) insists on waiting for her husband John (Marcus). The others leave. John arrives. Zombies attack. Charlie arrives. Is he a hero or a villain?

       The film got so many vicious 1* reviews on IMDb that I was expecting utter rubbish. But then scrolled on and saw 7*, even 10*. So, let’s see.

       The first half is quite good, and it is suspenseful but then it turns ugly. But still suspenseful. More of a psychological thriller than a zombie film, it doesn’t always seem to know where it’s going.  Much better than 1* but nowhere near 10* either, it is one of the strangest films I’ve seen. But there’s something about it… 

3* of 5
