Review of The Flu (2013) by Roxanne R — 23 Apr 2015
Besides fear of tsunamis, I have indicated that a pandemic or biological warfare can not only create chaos in a big city but wipe out a large percentage of the population. Be afraid, be VERY afraid of this situation happening especially in a big city like NY, LA, Chicago, etc.
This is a foreign film with English subtitles and takes place Bundang, a suburb of Seoul. After smuggling illegal immigrants into the country, Byung-woo dies from an unknown virus. Soon after that, the same symptoms are plaguing scores of residents in Bundang.
People are helpless against the airborne disease and the number of infected increases quickly, spreading chaos all over the city. Good acting and for a small budget film, the cast and crew did a solid, great job! A bit melodramatic playing heavy emphasis on mother and child, unlike Outbreak starring Dustin Hoffman and Donald Pleasance which in my opinion continues to be one of the best motion pictures to depict an Ebola pandemic.
This one still delivers and if you are currently sick then definitely watch because it will make you be thankful that what you have is not as deadly as what these people are facing! Let us pray to God this never happens in the USA, otherwise we will face a nightmare of EPIC proportions.
Available in HD from Netflix streaming, enjoy!
