James Van Der Beek plays Tom Russell,an ex-convict whose release from prison coincides with the awakening of teenagers all over the globe.Ten years before children were universally afflicted by a mysterious plague that has since kept them trapped in a coma.Now,upon rejoining the living,the teens possess strange powers and a thirst for blood.The slaughter of their parents begins..."Clive Barker's The Plague" was easily influenced by "Night of the Living Dead","The Fog" and "Who Can Kill a Child?".The acting is average,but there are some mildly exciting scenes of terror and a little bit of gore.The worst aspect of the film is definitely the climax,which left me confused.Still I enjoyed this film and you should too,if you are into apocalyptic horror cinema in the vein of "28 Days Later".7 out of 10.
