Zombies are an oft-visited trope in the horror movie genre, but somewhere along the line, filmmakers shifted from the supernatural element of re-animated corpses to the existence of a possible zombie virus. ‘Cargo’, starring Martin Freeman, is a film that centres around a father who has been infected by the virus and must get his daughter to safety...
HBO’s ‘Chernobyl’ isn’t exactly a pandemic movie, though its characters’ race against time to handle a deathly outbreak of radiation poisoning (though its effects have been hugely dramatised here) sure feels like it. Based on true events, the historical drama series follows what happened after the steam explosion at the nuclear power plant near the...
‘Train to Busan’ has been critically considered to be one of the best zombie horror movies to exist, and you might consider (re-)watching it online before you catch its sequel, which opened in theatres on 15 July. Starring Gong Yoo and Ma Dong-seok, the film follows passengers on a train from Seoul to Busan as a zombie virus breaks out in their cab...
‘World War Z’ is another popular zombie movie with a pandemic twist. Starring Brad Pitt, it follows former UN field agent Gerry Lane as he works with a military team to track down the original source of the zombie plague that is now infecting most of humanity. The film takes you across South Korea, Israel and the United States as Lane works with th...
‘Virus’ is one of the more realistic movies on this list that takes a look at how communities react to unexpected diseases. Based on the 2018 outbreak of the Nipah virus in the South Indian state of Kerala, the movie (with English subtitles) follows health workers trying to clamp down on the number of cases and prevent transmission. With no vaccine...
This is the last one about zombies, we promise, but it is a good one. British post-apocalyptic horror movie ’28 Days Later’ centres on the aftermath of a zombie virus outbreak. We follow a bicycle courier named Jim who wakes up from a coma to a seemingly deserted world. Having missed the initial discovery and spread of the virus, he doesn’t know wh...
Like ‘Virus’, ’93 Days’ takes inspiration from real life events. It follows the Ebola outbreak in Nigeria in 2014 and how the virus was able to be contained in the capital city of Lagos. When a Liberian-American traveler presents malaria-like symptoms, his doctor notifies authorities that she believes it could be the deadly disease. Starring notabl...
Award-winning ‘Death in Venice’ has become a classic in queer cinema, and is based on the 1912 novella of the same name by Thomas Mann. The impressionistic movie centres on a German composer named Aschenbach, who arrives in Venice at the height of the cholera epidemic. There, he becomes obsessed with a young Polish boy Tadzio whom he sees more as a...
‘The Andromeda Strain’ revolves around four scientists trying to eliminate an alien microorganism in New Mexico. Directed by Robert Wise (‘Sound of Music’) and based on the acclaimed 1969 novel by Michael Crichton, the alien apparently hitchhiked on a US satellite which crashed near the town of Piedmont, showing an uncanny ability to turn blood int...
The final movie on our list is ‘Contagion’ — the Steven Soderbergh film that critics and cinephiles alike have been revisiting in recent months. With an ensemble cast comprising Matt Damon, Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Gwyneth Paltrow among others, the film tracks the outbreak of a mysterious disease called MEV-1, inspired by the real-life 2009 H1N1 ...
