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.

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.
