ShangLuda
Admirable film.
TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Every child under the age of nine has fallen asleep and won't wake up. Until now.Starring James Van Der Beek and Ivana Milicevik.Written by Hal Masonberg and Teal Minton. A production by Clive Barker's Midnight Picture Show.Directed by Hal Masonberg.This started off so well and grabbed my interest from the first second but after about half an hour it just turned into another zombie flick.How many times can you watch a zombie invasion movie? The acting is average. The plot has been done (ironically) to death and the production is okay. But what could have been something amazing and original became boring. Plenty of blood, gore and scares but sadly a lack of anything original or entertaining. The ending was unusual and unconvincing.6/10

* Acting is generally weak, meaning: wooden.
* There's really no explanation as to: what happened to the children in the first place; what did this to them; why they've become homicidal maniacs; what's controlling them? At the end, it does attempt some kind of "our-kids-are-what-we-make-of-them" gibberish.
* There's something from a Minister's journal which is supposed to elucidate -- but, doesn't, really. Something about giving your "fear" to the Children . . . or, yeah, like, whatever . . .
* Some blond-haired kid shows up at the end, seemingly a ringleader or something. Who is he? What's his importance? Why does the camera focus on just him? Why is he the one with _The Grapes of Wrath_ book in his pocket? Don't know.
* Apparently, if you create happy thoughts, the kids won't kill you.I've suffered so as to tell you: This movie's not worth your time.

After 88 minutes of this film, we never learn what force caused the children to become mindless zombies (if you may), and for what purpose did they go about killing any and every adult they could find.We did learn that they wanted their souls, but for what reason? We learned that a willing victim would be sacrificed without incident, but to whom or what?The bottom-line here, this film was a complete waste of 88 minutes, and if I were you I'd stay away. Clive Barker has been known for producing some of the most confusing and myopic thrillers I've ever seen. "Night Breed" was much more entertaining then this film. What made this film even more confusing is the paperback copy of the novel "Grapes Of Wrath" in the back pocket of one of the zombie children (which you see in the very last shot in the film).If you're looking for another zombie-type thriller, you won't find it here in this film. What will see is a lot of blood, screaming, bad acting, and bad make-up....

After reading some of the posts in the IMDb forum, I must say I partially appreciate The Plague. Why I say that is although the story is nice, the execution was boring and slow.All the actors were average in their performances except maybe for Brad Hunt as the aggressive Sam who showed some life among all the cast. I think The Plague had oodles of potential with the concept but as I said earlier, many scenes were dead-boring, like the dead looks of the "awakened again" 19 year olds in it. Although I did find the intro moments to be very anticipating.Verdict: It will "Plague" your enthusiasm. So beware :)
