Mar '20 *
Alllll righty then, we have the coronavirus to worry about. Beautiful. Just... beautiful. It sounds like, over the course of this month, things should get a hell of a lot scarier. So, what better time to watch horror movies, or sci-fi movies, dealing with plagues, or general viral outbreaks? Or TV shows, or books... I'm not being too picky here. Just generally any kind of story we can find out there that has some kind of plague going on. What comes to mind for you? I'll throw out a few. If you have anything to say about any of these, or any movies of your own, fire away. I know there are shitloads of movies about vampire and zombie plagues, so I don't know whether to count too many of them. I included a few. I guess if they are of high quality, then include them? Your call.
Twelve Monkeys (1995, and also 2015-2018)
Contagion (2011)
Outbreak (1995)
The Stand (1994, and hopefully this year for the new version)

The Last Man on Earth (1964)
The Omega Man (1971)

Resident Evil was fun for 1 view but only because I played the videogame.
Last Man on Earth is a classic nothin too spectacular though
Daybreakers was meh
Cabin Fever even more meh.
28 Days later I found real crap so didn't bother with the sequel. if anything exciting happens you don't see shit. Even worse than Blair Witch Project and I hate that movie with passion.
Seems I'm not such a big fan of these movies.
The children (1980) well that counts I think, it's crap but at least it's fun. Who Could Kill a Child (1976) that's one of the best I think.
But if you want something fucked up there is Ebola Syndrome (1996) from Hong Kong.
