aloweecey First of all, it's a good movie. It hits all the usual K-Horror tropes with actors who can act. On top of that, it possess that rare gem, a child actor who isn't annoying! She's funny and adorable and believable and I enjoyed her scenes. So far, so good.Then the flu hits epidemic proportions and things go to hell. Think "The Last Man on Earth" with better CGI, and government officials as weaselly and amoral as the officials in "Torchwood: Children of Earth."Then the evil genius put his/her finger on the mom-button and left it there. If I had ANY idea of the mom-button pushing for the last half of this, I would not have watched it. For those with no mom-buttons to push, I recommend this movie. It's terrifically frightening in a "this could happen tomorrow in real life" sense. High production values. Good acting. Good FX. Quality all around. Just beware before you press Play.
Jesse Boland Also called "The Flu" I was really touched a few times by the characters in this epic (in length) disaster movie. Sure there is a lot of the impossible, but you need that for any disaster movie, or you just end up with a 5 minute short. The brotherhood between the emergency response partners ties the movie together really well. There are a few really good side stories that help extend the connection for us the viewers to the people of this poor town. It was really odd that the South Korean people are just called Korean as if to ignore their neighbor to the north. For a westerner it is hard to know how to feel about that. I watched this with subtitles, and Enjoyed it quite a bit, mostly because that little girl is so endearing. Also for the very well filmed realistic events, and there was a lot of truth to the way things were handled, in this day, and age it is good to see a movie come from that part of the world being allowed to show such real government/political actions. I completely recommend this film, and if you have to wait for a dubbed version, then just do that, and watch it then, you will most likely enjoy it for the same reasons I did. I do not think there is any difference with dub or sub, it's video you should be looking at the screen anyhow.
jonnytheshirt I know some people who simply will not watched a movie with subtitles. Personally I barely notice them as I've one of those Star Trek implants, well maybe I don't however I can get very engrossed in a movie with subtitles and Flu managed that. This is very much a Korean version of Outbreak or Contagion, it has some stereotypical Korean characteristics, humour, drama, the textbook Asian emotive expressions - there's always some guy in a suit with a straight face raising his deep voice in a very controller manner to show he is serious - and honourable. Anyway I digress despite having a few ludicrous plot turns the Flu is a Korean epic executed with such great gusto, and done quite well, that you can't help but be pulled into it's South Korean Independence Day minus the aliens feel. It's popcorn all the way and the show is completely stolen by an actress who's not even listed here who played 4 year old Mirre; you're a stone cold killer if you have dry eyes at a certain point. Pleasant surprise epic disaster type movie.
devesh pant Flu is a good movie or actually you can say great movie created by the Korean.I am not a native speaker; I even don't know Korean language at all. I watched whole movie with subtitle ON to understand it but though I am not a native speaker so I can't say much about acting of the actors. Actually if you saying about the acting I actually like the work done by the little girl in this movie, she had done a great work and others actors acting I don't like it that much it is so-so performance on the movie. Other than acting I would say everything is great story is good, direction is good. Story of the movie start with car accident where actress of the stuck and hero of the film save after that the main movie start when container full of people are transported from the Indonesia and container come with dead people those people are dead because of flu except one guy who spread the flu and flu start spreading all over the city and after that they show on the movie how they stop the flu. In end of the movie little dramatic or no need of those scene actually which makes the movie kind of boring rather than that whole movie is awesome
