Movies on Pandemics: Black Death was the most fatal pandemic in human history which was introduced in the 1300s and led to the death of as many as 200 million people. The movie with the same name is based on the same theme. Europe has fallen under the shadow of the Black Death. A monk decides to investigate a report, which states that some people are miraculously coming back to life.
The story follows a band of puritans who set out to find a village that’s not only plague-free but where there have been reports of black magic being used to both to keep the disease away, and also to resurrect the dead. Black Death doesn’t focus too heavily on the plague itself, but it’s a fun man-on-a-mission yarn that features sword battles, religious superstition, and occultism.

3. FLU (2013)
Starring – Soo Ae, Jang Huk
Director – Kim Sung-su
Streaming Platform – Amazon
FLU is a South Korean film about a virus that tears through Bundang and causes the city to become quarantined. The people who are infected only have thirty-six hours to live. The symptoms include vomit-blackened-blood, which is kind of gross. There is no InterCity communication which results in chaos and leads to riots. All of the hallmarks of a virus-themed disaster movie are present and accounted for, but FLU scores extra points for being very intense, crazily entertaining, and rife with political distrust.

Movies on Pandemics: Daybreak is a sci-fi horror film in which a plague begins to turn everyone into vampires. The main story revolves around farming the surviving humans while researching a substitute for human blood, which is becoming scarce.
