Pandemic is a very common name in this genre, so make sure you are looking at the movie from 2009. Pandemic from 2009 is the story about a cute veterinarian who finds herself in the midst of an infectious outbreak in the small town of Diablo.
This movie is over a decade old at this point, and while you might recognize Ray Wise, who plays General Matthews from what I think is his most iconic role as Leland Palmer in Twin Peaks, most of the other cast members haven’t been in anything super memorable.
Sydney Stevens played by Alesha Rucci, is the town vet, who first encounters the virus when it infects the horse of a local rancher who also happens to be conspiracy theorist.
Sydney does what every good veterinarian does when she hears that a human has been infected, and heads to the coroners office. This kicks off a call to the CDC, which ends up with the military swooping down on the town to isolate it.
Our conspiracy theorist believes the military let loose the virus to test how it impacts humans, and it’s not too long before we get confirmation that at the very least, the military has more knowledge than they let on when the vaccinate the local coroners assistant, who seems to know the players involved suspiciously well.
Pandemic is actually a decent movie if you are in the mood for a suspenseful drama. However, if you’re in the mood for a Zombie movie, don’t let Pandemic fool you. Regardless of the cool images in the promo, this isn’t a zombie movie, so it scores a 1/100, making it Just Bad if your a Zombiephile.
