    Wow... terrifyingly real, and that little girl!

    This was so realistic at what COULD play out in a real life scenario, and it's scary to think how quickly both the populace AND the government overseeing them can go off the deep end. It begs the question, given the epidemic, who's right and who's wrong? This movie had phenomenal acting to, the 2 main protagonists were great, and that little girl, wow. Best child actress I've seen in a foreign movie. "Please don't shoot my mommy!" That had me choking back tears!

    If you like Train to Busan you will like Flu(minus the zombie)

    Flu while being very cliché from the plot to the characters motivation is still an entertaining outbreak movie with strong acting and thrilling action scene so if you like the first haft of 28 Days Later... and wish the whole movie like that Flu is the movie for you.The little girl is very annoying but she a big part of the story so you just have to roll with it.

    From a movie to real life (Coronavirus)

    Give a chance to this film. It captures the realism of what would happened in a case of an outbreak in real life... and guess what is happening with coronavirus. Very tense and strong movie which I strongly recommend to prepare you of what will happen if everything goes out of control in a deadly virus...

    This can be real

    Well, there is no better timing to watch this movie. With coronavirus turning into a pandemic, this movie showed what could have happen if it was a much severe virus. Sometimes, movie is a reflection of reality. Lockdown, panic, violence, anger, sacrifice, humanity, all covered in the movie. Humanity is so fragile, right?

    Flu

    Flu is Korea's answer to Outbreak and Contagion, an emotionally manipulative but highly intense and entertaining thriller. It falls down due to some lame cliches, but the incredible pace and tense music keep you glued to your seat. If you enjoy the high stakes of virus movies combined with uncontrolled chaos and mayhem, Flu is for you.
