Review of The Plague

The Plague (2006 Video)
4/10
I was a Teenage (not a) Zombie
16 December 2012
Warning: Spoilers
The plot is that all the world's children go comatose, and ten years later, they all wake up and start killing the adults. So the movie plays like a wet dream from the Human Extinction Project, but it's really just another lame zombie movie with all the tired zombie movie conventions.

Except the zombies are teenagers (read 20 year olds because they never hire actual teenagers to play teenagers).

You would have to believe that all these kids would develop normally while being in a coma. And that they would be physically capable of killing adults AND sustaining gunshot wounds after being in vegetative states for a decade.

Still, I give the first half of the movie credit for being a slightly more effective than usual zombie movie, using all the zombie clichés ("she's not your daughter anymore!") and throwing in a few twists to boot.

At least until the ending, when the hero figures out what they are up to and it turns into kind of an illogical mess where there's no payoff of letting the audience know what we just watched.
