Plague

About This Movie

Plague (2015) by Kostas Ouzas is a fascinating dive into a bleak post-apocalyptic setting. It’s not just about the external threat of the infected; the real horror unfolds within the survivors. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you can really feel the claustrophobia of their sanctuary. The pacing is intentionally slow, allowing the dread to build as moral lines blur and paranoia sets in. The practical effects on the zombies are quite impressive for an indie flick, lending a rawness that heightens the experience. Performances are solid, particularly when the characters grapple with their own humanity amidst such chaos. It’s distinct in how it shifts from typical horror tropes to a more profound commentary on survival and morality.
