Who does not love a great plague movie? Whether you are being overrun by zombies, frogs or some new government manufactured contagion, these movies thrill the sci-fi community. Here are the top ten plague movies that everyone must see.
10. Frogs from 1972, starring Sam Elliot showcases some great tragic deaths at the hands of amphibians.
9. The Plague is kids waking up after years and years and years of being comatose. Instead of going back to Tom and Jerry cartoons, they go out and kill all the grown ups!
8. The Happening gives us the M. Night Shyamalan take on a plague. People start doing crazy, unexplainable things and no one can answer why.
7. Rabid kicks off the Zombie epidemics all the way back in 1977.
6. Quarantine (and Quarantine 2) explore what would happen if a mutant form of rabies managed to get out of control in an apartment complex or on an airplane.
5. Outbreak is a very serious drama about government conspiracy in the creation and alleged containment of viruses.
4. Doomsday is a bit odd, but showcases just what lengths people will go to when terrified.
3. Black Death adds a supernatural element to the tale of the real plague responsible for wiping out millions of people back in the day.
2. I Am Legend shows us one mans seemingly hopeless efforts to fight a plague.
1. Zombieland is the most awesome zombie movie ever, and it happens to be about a plague started by bad burgers at a “Gas ‘n Gulp.”
