Tetrady not as good as all the hype
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
s3276169 Strewth, its another Australian, zombie film and not a bad little film at that.Plague makes rather clever use of an Australian outback setting. Its harsh, stark, landscape, is a metaphor for the choices a small band of survivors of a plague pandemic face. They can either adapt to the harsh realities of their stark, new existence or perish. This is the premise this film is built upon. It defines the dynamic that develops between the survivors, who gradually start to fall into two obvious categories; those who are determined to live and those who, sooner or later, are destined to die. The decisions made by the survivors, are not judged in moral terms but instead, have a Darwinian quality, where only the strong survive.There's is then, a little naked savagery about Plague. As in nature, some die because others make ruthless choices, that aid in their survival. This primal quality is reflected in the zombies. They are not your garden house, moaning shufflers but instead, are imbued with a predatory menace and slathering, screaming, ferocity. The acting in Plague is reasonable. What I did like is the manner in which each character is presented as a real person, as opposed to an over the top caricature. The decision to downplay the characterizations lends this film a sense of authenticity others in the same vein lack. All in all, I like Plague. Its not an exceptional film but given its modest setting and low budget its an above average effort that shows that much can be accomplished with very little. Seven out of ten from me.
adrossan Everyone has to start somewhere.....this is the bottom.No plot.No exposition.No acting.Not even sincerity in voices.No use of the remarkable Australian terrain. Thankfully the unique light in this country did its own work & shone through.Rip off from every Romero movie going.WTF a Henry Martini rifle ? Where does that weapon come from ? Where do you get rounds for that ? Poor sound in vehicle.No time setting.No location information.Positives: Many false and cringe-worthy reviews from what must be friends, family, returned backpackers used as free crew or extras. the writer has friends so we need not worry about depression.The .357 looked real.We hate the characters within 5 minutes & couldn't care less what happens to them, so it's a relief to see the end of the film.If you've read the bible you know Moses leads his people away from the plagues & spent 40 years looking for the Promised Land, that's the best you can do rather than watch this rubbish.
nbtc971 I thought this movie was well done and interesting. The characters were also fairly well done. Now for the spoiler..*SPOILER*I get that the husband was a pretty sorry, useless person in that situation. He let his wife down on more than one occasion and when the going got tough was going to kill himself and leave her behind. But in the end he was trying to save them. She was hurt, I get that, but he begged and pleaded with her to MOVE. She wouldn't move. So he decided he wanted to live, left her the pistol, and started walking away.. only to have her SHOOT him? WFF? If she was too hurt to move, how is it she suddenly has the strength to shoot him and walk away unaided? I liked her character up to that point and I thought that twist at the end really took away from the movie.
Minas Gr Its a psychological thriller. So not much of zombies that eat people alive etc....THe movie focuses on how the people try to survive from all dangers. How desperate all humans can become when they are threatened.I like the plot, its going on really really well. its so interesting. I didn't see the zombies and the scare i was expecting but it got the job done :) Ι like this movie. Characters are really interesting and the story keeps happening and happening. OK some moves and facts on the movie don't exactly go as you would think... But who knows how is anyone going to act in a zombie apocalypse? Maybe when you think you are going to die, the only thing you re looking for, is a woman :D
