Pandemic (2016) 6/10

Starring : Rachel Nichols, Alfie Allen, Missi Pyle, Mekhi Phifer
Director : John Suits
Running Time : 92 mins

A group of doctors and soldiers search for survivors of a worldwide pandemic which turns people into flesh eating cannibals that are fully aware of their actions.

I didn’t hold much hope for this movie, which attempts to be one hundred per cent filmed through the characters POV, and when the point of view filming basically collapses part way through the movie I become incredibly annoyed. This could have been good if the characters were less wooden, and even when the writers try to give character to the cast it fails miserably. The rating I’ve given to this movie is for the concept, which is a good idea if it had have worked, but sadly it seems that laziness crept in with the director who seems to have chosen to take shortcuts rather than try to think how to shoot a scene and still keep it POV.
