Review of Plague

Plague (2014)
8/10
a psychological thriller
2 June 2015
I am not one for horror movies generally, so it was a pleasant surprise to find this movie had a lot more to it than blood and gore, though there was certainly that. Indeed, the horror component of this movie provides a backdrop, a motif, to explore an unfolding human drama that explores the psychology of people placed in extreme situations. This is certainly an interesting theme given the real life horrors we see unfolding on an international stage on a daily basis at present. The two young directors are to be congratulated for developing the psychological components relevant to the characters and their survival. I will follow with great interest their next projects to see how they develop such themes in greater depth. Their first feature low budget movie is a great start that holds the promise of bigger and better things to come.
