Plague

About This Movie

Plague is this unsettling blend of horror and science fiction that dives into the chaos unleashed by a relentless bacterial outbreak. The pacing feels relentless, mirroring the frantic escape of the woman who unknowingly spreads the infection. Practical effects are gritty and add a tangible sense of dread, the body spasms depicted are raw and really illustrate the horror of the situation. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you can almost feel the paranoia seeping through every scene. It's distinct not just for its unsettling premise but also for how it captures the fear of the unknown, especially in the way it highlights the mundane world turning terrifying thanks to a hidden threat.

Plague has seen a bit of an underground following among collectors due to its obscure origins and limited release. There aren’t many physical copies out there, with early VHS versions becoming hard to find, which adds to its allure. Some fans appreciate the film's offbeat narrative and practical effects, making it a curious piece for those interested in the evolution of the horror genre during that era.
