Plague

I watched this movie based on the rating and because I like a decent post apocalyptic film. This was anything but a decent film, no matter the genre! Certainly not worthy of a 6.7 rating! The way the characters acted/reacted were so far from reality it is actually frustrating! Plot was practically non-existent and the dialogue was laughable! The ratings for this film are clearly not deserved so I came back to see if I could see what I suspected what went on here (with the rating it received). So here I was scrolling through every review. A lot were bang on, rated 1 star and warning others how bad the film actually is, but then came the reason(s) I watched this waste of time in the first place! A dozen or more reviews (and I am sure dozens more who gave a 10 rating!) claiming masterpiece, great film making, amazing psychological thriller etc etc etc. So unfair to mislead IMDb members like this, very selfish and void of any integrity! Several of these so called reviews were from family members! You can determine this by their IMDb ID's! Same names as the directors! LOL LOL! I don't know which is dumber, these friends and relatives with their obvious false reviews, or the script and direction of this cliché ridden boring mess! Only reason to watch this film would be to later come back here afterwards and read these reviews. Hilarious!

The beginning was interesting. It had suspense, and around the 15 minute mark, something shocking happened that I didn't see coming. However, afterwards...gosh, it was so slow. I know it was low budget movie that was more like 28 Days Later than The Walking Dead, but I was not taken with it. I didn't have a problem with the actors, but the storyline was not fast moving at all. They kept locking themselves in the barn at night, but I don't know why they didn't build some ladders so they could climb to the roof to keep safe. I gave this a 4-star rating. I wouldn't watch this again. You might like it if you like subtle movies about some virus/plague that makes the infected secondary to the personal drama. I like action/adventure, and this was neither.

Not usually a fan of the horror genre... I hate that roller coaster journey that exploits ones irrational fears and the dread that leaves you feeling empty like a used up dish rag... BUT... Plague was a lot more than that. A 'meaty' drama with insightful character development… It certainly leaves you with a lot to think about. Yes... it will hold you on the edge of your seat... it had me writhing on mine like a fish out of water... as it masterfully carries you through an emotionally turbulent journey of 'do or die.' When survival is the bottom line, and the characters are pushed to their outer limits... only then do they see 'the stuff they are really made of.' I thought the film had a maturity and sophistication well beyond my expectations. I liked the restraint... paired back to essentials... nothing gratuitous . The stark, comfortless, hostile Australian outback echoed the character's internal desolation and despair. It was indeed a compelling drama. I give it 'the thumbs up.' ~ Mary

Having seen the film myself, I can tell you that it defies a lot of expectations of the 'zombie' genre. Instead of making it a straight up blood bath, the film deeply explores the human condition, creating a horror film that's both fresh and original! Its focus is on the central characters, their relationships and the psychological impact their situation has on them. The cinematography of the film is very impressive and aesthetically pleasing, and contributes to the film's distinctive character and identity. The acting is strong and precise. This is a must see film that captivates its audience and keeps them guessing.

this was the worst movie i have ever saw and i have seen every syfy original movie there is. spoiler alert the main character is an awful actress i hated her more than Lorie Andrea and fr Gabe from the walking dead and king Geoffrey from game of thrones combined. what she did at the end to make me hate her is that she is to weak to stand up but she is strong enough to stand catch up to her husband and shot him than to continue to walk for a couple more miles and since when do zombies scream. there were a lot of other things that i hated about this movie but i want you to find out yourself

If you're expecting an action movie you'll be disappointed. If you want a psychological thriller then this is up your alley. I will start off by saying this review is impartial even though one of the directors is my younger brother. I'm not a big fan of horror movies in general but I went to the the premier at the Astor Theatre in Melbourne to support him. However, I came out of the movie liking it. If you're in the U.S. ignore the advertising. They make it look like an action movie where zombies attack every 15-20 minutes. It isn't. It's a psychological thriller that centres around the survivors, their states of mind, and the question of "What would you do to survive?". I give it an 8 out of 10 because it could be tightened up in places (and I let my brother know this), but overall I enjoyed the movie as this is my kind of horror movie. It's in the same genre as Identity (starring John Cusack).

Really enjoyed this film. Plot was well developed and full of suspense. Cinematography was excellent for such a low budget film and I found the way it was shot to be quite beautiful to watch. The film is different than your average horror film as the focus is not so much on gore and killing (though there is enough of that to please an atypical horror fan), but the psychological impact on the characters and the choices they have to make. The Australian landscape the film is set in is the perfect backdrop for the plot and really nice for a fellow Aussie to see. Quite an achievement to have shot this film in a couple of weeks as stated in the summary!

Great movie,Powerful well written plot with many twists and surprises to keep you on the edge of your seat! From the opening scene the characters are thrown together to fight a common enemy, to make life hanging decisions that will affect each and everyone of them.Do they really have options or are they driven by external forces? The manner in which these characters act and react to each other and to their fate is both engaging and terrifying. Who will survive?Who is the real enemy? Will the infected destroy everyone?The clever use of the harsh Australian landscape heightens the immediate and real danger these characters face and adds to their isolation and terror. Gripping action from the start, must see.

I had some expectations to this movie as I like zombie and apocalyptic movies. I saw the rating and read the review and I thought to myself that this would be something worth seeing. I was so wrong. I had to create my account here to come and warn other people from watching this. The acting was horrible (except for the main woman actress), story was poor and illogical. I wonder why this movie was even made. There seemed to be some potential to create a decent zombie movie but somehow after 10 minutes it seemed to me that the director just hurried quickly to finish it or just didn't care. The movie just didn't make any sense and it was full of clichés and even they didn't work. Don't waste your time watching this.
