When the SARS outbreak ravaged Asia in 2007, thousands died across the continent. China, Hong Kong, Singapore – all suffered a high number of casualties. The disease even brought death to the United States and Ireland. But Korea was left, peculiarly, unscathed.
Flu is a biological disaster film that stems partly from that anxiety. Why was it unaffected? Why was it saved? And from that niggling uncertainty, it extrapolates a nightmarish virus that kills its host within days and tears a Korean city apart in weeks. Ultimately, FLU’s a tad too long, which undercuts some of its good work, but thanks to very good performances, some thrifty special effects, and one deeply disturbing scene, Flu is an effective disaster movie that introduces the element of biological panic.
