Manav Singh First of all i want to tell it is not for those who are the hardcore fan of zombie or supernatural horror movies which are easy going and don't make you think at the end. The plague is surely not one of such horror movies.It is different in every sense.It has not so much gore,killings as we usually see in other horror movies.The most distinct part of the movie is those lines in the diary which will make you think. Now its on you how you analyze. I contemplated and came to a conclusion that if you fear and live life of a slavery(being a slave to anyone) and convey your thoughts and fears to the children shown as antagonists they will just extract your thoughts and soul. Now what protagonist says to his wife at the end which saves her?He tells her not to look at them and think about the good times they had when they got married.Thus they were unable to rip her soul apart from her body as she did'nt let her fear and thought of going to die come out at the end. Now why suddenly children became stable and non violent in the end?As tom's soul was their last target,what he was thinking at the end changed the whole scenario.He had no fear and had peaceful,cheerful days of love and not to forget 'The hope' in his mind which led to that state of children in the end.
Adam Peters (23%) A disappointingly plotted, and overall average at best horror flick with that has a twilight zone type premise (only half as good) that could maybe have gone down some pretty interesting places, yet goes nowhere with a real dire, groan inducing ending that concludes very little to nothing. The characters are by and large bland, the performances are the stuff of TV movies, and you just get the feeling you've seen it all before. The plot itself is too far fetched for what is, more or less, a tame zombie flick, but it must be said that there are worse horror films out there, yet there are so many that are much better.
mwidunn-95-631875 * 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.
rbrb This ain't a bad movie of its kind and better than some reviews here suggest. A zombie/night of the living dead type of film. However it is ruined for me by watching it on the Asia cable channel AXN who at regular intervals break in with mindless adverts for other programs. The likes of HBO, Star Movies, Cinemax etc allow subscribers to see movies uninterrupted but AXN just spoil it for the viewer, and I turned it off after less than an hour as I could not enjoy the picture with all the commercial breaks. Also have noticed that the reception quality here in Asia of AXN is poor compared to the reception of the other cable TV movie channels.5/10
