Review of Plague

Plague (2014)
4/10
Not worth it
5 August 2015
This film is not worth the time to watch it. It starts out really strongly but as it goes on it gets continually more boring. The characters are totally unbelievable, unlikable and how they made it as far as they did is nothing short of a total miracle. I was lead to believe that they've been surviving for a few weeks, so why everyone still screams all the time and are constantly in a state of panic when anything happens is beyond me. It speaks volumes about a movie when the guy they are trying to portray as an asshole who is hardly even in the majority of the movie, comes across as the most relatable guy.

I was also hoping that what I can only describe as "socially awkward dialogue" would die out at some point but it never does. The majority of the conversations would never actually take place in any kind of situation, the man who loves his wife can't seem to take obvious hints that she isn't okay.

The plot seems to have no sense of direction. The almost non existent combat scenes are all too stupid to comprehend, like they literally just thought "oh f**k it, even i'm getting bored now", it feels like it was hastily made. The production quality is sound but everything else is a no go.

In short: Slow movie, annoying characters, little plot but decent production quality. If you want a zombie movie, this isn't the one.
