Contagion


The film's strength is a steely cold pragmatism, although this has the unfortunate side effect of making it feel like an educational film that should have intermittent pauses allowing you to answer questions on an accompanying sheet.

  1. Soderberg's best film for a while is a killer virus thriller devoid of the usual Hollywood trappings (a ticking clock to save the day, military personnel disregarding the civilian population, weaponisation of the virus) and all the better and more terrifying for it. A couple of underwritten characters and too many character thread conclusions in the last 15 from magnificence, but still comfortably the best horror film I've seen this year.
