The Plague (2006)
Even if you do have the time, don't watch this. I need closure!
This is probably the first film in which I have found the directing to be the biggest problem with a film; the plot and script come a close second, with acting actually the biggest asset this film entails.
Come to mention it, the musical score is also appalling. I find this strange as I rarely ever notice the music in a film, unless of course it is fantastic. Which of course, makes me realise how far I was stretching to try to find something positive about this film.
Basically, I did decide (against my better judgement) to not only watch a film that went straight to DVD (or was it VHS?) and also received a voting as low as 4.6 on IMDb, because I was hoping for some kind of explanation as to why the entire population of youths were in a coma for ten years and all of a sudden decided to wake up simultaneously and reap havoc on the world. To my dismay - after one hour and twenty-eight minutes of this 'blockbuster' - I discovered that there would not be any explanation as the credits began to roll.
Why, oh why did not I not read some of the reviews already submitted on here? It's a simple horror film, but with no reasoning, poor directing and no conclusion. Watch 28 Days Later, Dawn of the Dead or something else.
