All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

Epidemic (1987)

Director: Lars Von Tier

Premise:
Two writers write a screenplay about an epidemic wiping out all humanity while an actual epidemic starts up around them.

My Take:
Like most of the director's films, the story moves very slow and requires concentration to watch. And if you make to the end, you be somewhat confused and entertained.It's interesting to see how the two linked tales play out. Sometimes in rather amusing fashion. Shot in black and white, the film has a very German Expressionism feel to it.

Rating: In the middle
