Saw this on the weekend—thought scarier than any vampire/zombie/horror as though this an extreme example, it is possible.
Is it based on the Robin Cook book, or different movie plot but same title coincidence?
I thought it was an original screenplay but you could be right.
Anyways, yeah it was a great movie. And from what I’ve read it wasn’t far off base what could in fact happen if we saw a return of a Spanish Flu type epidemic of 1918 which estimates state killed between 3-6% of the world’s population. The only reason we don’t hear more about the Spanish flu was because WWI was happening at the same time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1918_flu_pandemic
Very well thought out, intense, and smart. And scary because you can’t just dismiss it as fiction.
