Viewing Notes

via Netflix

When people in a South Korean suburb start dropping like flies from a deadly airborne respiratory disease, the area is quarantined and chaos reigns. There is a lot going on with this film and it does a great job balancing out the story with all the characters going on.  This is very much a virus thriller in that it keeps you in suspense throughout.  The actors do a great job and the actress in the role of the little irl isn’t just adorable but acts right along with the adult actors.  It’s interesting to see how filmmakers in Korea believe things would go down with a super virus and on top of that the US interference while the Korean people are just trying to do their jobs.  If you like films like Outbreak, this is right up your alley.
