If zombies and horror are not your idea of a good flick, don't dismiss Plague. For the lovers of the zombie/horror genre there is enough fun, visual creativity and a good story to keep you entertained. For the rest of us, Plague is a drama with interesting characters whose mettle and loyalties are tested as they meet challenges and make choices in order to stay safe and survive a world that is thrown into disarray. The film holds the audience captivated as the characters navigate encounters with zombies and strangers, and share experiences with friends and kin. As they discover themselves but also what lurks beneath the surface of those they thought they knew, we are taken on a tense journey full of surprises. Can they trust anyone and can they even trust their own instincts? Well crafted cinematography of the Australian outback evokes and reinforces the feeling of isolation and despair of the characters and adds another layer of obstacles in their struggle to stay alive. The makers of this film successfully use this backdrop that's too vast, too empty, too distant and where anything can happen. A must see.
