First of all i want to tell it is not for those who are the hardcore fan of zombie or supernatural horror movies which are easy going and don't make you think at the end. The plague is surely not one of such horror movies.It is different in every sense.It has not so much gore,killings as we usually see in other horror movies.The most distinct part of the movie is those lines in the diary which will make you think. Now its on you how you analyze. I contemplated and came to a conclusion that if you fear and live life of a slavery(being a slave to anyone) and convey your thoughts and fears to the children shown as antagonists they will just extract your thoughts and soul. Now what protagonist says to his wife at the end which saves her?He tells her not to look at them and think about the good times they had when they got married.Thus they were unable to rip her soul apart from her body as she did'nt let her fear and thought of going to die come out at the end. Now why suddenly children became stable and non violent in the end?As tom's soul was their last target,what he was thinking at the end changed the whole scenario.He had no fear and had peaceful,cheerful days of love and not to forget 'The hope' in his mind which led to that state of children in the end.

The plot is that all the world's children go comatose, and ten years later, they all wake up and start killing the adults. So the movie plays like a wet dream from the Human Extinction Project, but it's really just another lame zombie movie with all the tired zombie movie conventions.Except the zombies are teenagers (read 20 year olds because they never hire actual teenagers to play teenagers).You would have to believe that all these kids would develop normally while being in a coma. And that they would be physically capable of killing adults AND sustaining gunshot wounds after being in vegetative states for a decade.Still, I give the first half of the movie credit for being a slightly more effective than usual zombie movie, using all the zombie clichés ("she's not your daughter anymore!") and throwing in a few twists to boot.At least until the ending, when the hero figures out what they are up to and it turns into kind of an illogical mess where there's no payoff of letting the audience know what we just watched.

This movie had real potential to be a good move. It is quite creepy in parts but redemption movies are not really my thing. A plague has taken all the children away just like the pied piper pinched children in fairy tales. In this one the unknown power puts them into a coma from which no ones knows if they will recover.In a well trawled plot line the kids are here to save us. Of course it does not make a whole lot of sense. What have we done? What have they done? Perhaps this is god punishing us for all the evil things we have done. Or if they had produced this movie in the 1990s it could have been a way of saying that the Christians might go to heaven.If you want to see this movie competently try watching End of the Line. Which is close to this plot but expertly handled. I kept waiting for something to happen. Then when something happened i kept waiting for it to get exciting. It never does. Calling it Clive Barker's The Plague makes you think that it might have some of CB's genius for horror. Unfortunately this did not prove the case as he is only the executive producer and has not written any part of it. So if like me you wanted the darkness of his mind you are going to be really disappointed.

You have all probably seen this before. No, you have seen this before. If you have seen Village/Children of the Damned, there is no difference. A few hours vs. 10 years. Same thing.Once the children come out of their coma, then it is more 30 days of Night as they are zombified (not zombies as they never really died) and they start killing off everyone.The violence escalates as they learn to anticipate and use weapons.I thought James Van Der Beek did a fairly good job, and I also liked Ivana Milicevic. Tom definitely redeemed himself as everyone could certainly empathize with his actions that sent him to prison.
