The Flu (South Korea, 2013)

The worst epidemic ever seen is sweeping through Bundang, the suburb of Seoul. When illegal immigrants enters the country, symptoms are plaguing scores of residents in Bundang. People are helpless against the airborne disease and the number of infected increases quickly, spreading chaos. As the worst-case scenario precaution, the city of half a million people, just 19 kilometers from Seoul, is about to be sealed off. The government orders a complete shutdown.

The Flu has all the right elements of a disaster film, great characters so that we don't just sit and wait for the next action scene, a sense of dread for the unknown virus, and also how it cares for its human characters and not just feels like an excuse to show scenes where thousands of people getting disposed of. Big-budget entertainment. 

Genre: Action/Drama
