The Plague was one of my favorite films of 2025. As a filmmaker who noonlights as a psychotherapist, I love a film that can scare me strictly with human behavior, especially the particularly desperate and myopic choices inside adolescence. And, yes, there’s some body horror, but it never leaves the realm of the possible, and to me that’s more terrifying.
Also, well done casting those brilliant kids!
Thanks Alex Rollins Berg for the exposure to this compelling film and director.
