    If you can get past the fact that it has an ending that screams "look at me, I'm so ridiculously enigmatic I must be a much more deep and meaningful film than I seem," The Plague is a pretty good quasi-zombie flick.

    Not the best Clive Barker offering although I really don't think he had anything to do with this obviously made for tv movie that had a few pretty interesting moments that give way to a ridiculous finale. Only to be watched if you really have nothing else to watch.
