Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

draftdubya The main male have no problem shooting one of the people he spent months with, nor a soldier, but have issues with killing a guy rapeing hi wife. The wife was downright unlikable, in the beginning she just wants everyone to stay in the barn and wait on her effeminate husband. She could've just left a note telling him where they went. /Netflix needs to do something about these crappy 3rd party movies or they're going to have one less customer.

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.

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.

Matt Kracht The plot: After being abandoned by their group, two struggling survivors of a zombie apocalypse find salvation in the form of a highly competent stranger who offers to help them.Evie and John, a married couple, don't seem cut out to survive a post-apocalyptic world full of zombies. Both are academics, and they have little skill at foraging, surviving, or managing stress. Enter Charlie, a man who seems to be doing quite well for himself. He's got a rifle, car, supplies, and knows where to find more. He doesn't seem to want anything but a place to stay and companionship.From this point, the film becomes a psychological thriller. John and Evie become increasingly dependent on Charlie, and the story becomes more concerned with their relationships than it does the zombies, who become more of a background element. It's not too different from your stereotypical psychological thriller, but the Australian setting and occasional zombie attack may make it interesting enough for viewers tired of Cape Fear ripoffs.There are a few scenes that seem to drag on a bit. In one particular scene that kind of bothered me, Evie wanders through their dark and foreboding shelter, calling out quietly to John. Alright, a bit of suspense is good. But the scene just seemed to go on forever. I kept thinking to myself, "This is time that could have been spent on character development. Or plot. Or anything, really." Overall, the atmosphere was pretty good, but the intensity had a tendency to morph into melodrama at times.The characters are a bit frustrating at times, but if you're willing to cut them some slack and see this as a character study rather than zombie-killing outing, it's a lot more interesting. The original Dawn of the Dead packed a lot of action, character development, and satire into its runtime, and that's my gold standard for a horror film. This doesn't quite measure up, but it's not even trying to be an action film. For fans of slow-burn dramas, this will be a more enjoyable experience, as long as they can overlook the low budget.I guess it comes down to how tired you are of low budget zombie films and how much tolerance you have for slow-paced psychological thrillers. I'm fine with the latter, but low budget zombie films are becoming a bit tiresome. I'll still watch them, of course, but I've lost a great deal of enthusiasm for them in the past five years. I liked how stark and gritty this film was without becoming exploitative, but it wasn't exactly the most original thing ever.
