THE PLAGUE is a look at bullying set in a water polo camp. The film centers around a 12-year-old boy who becomes the target for the camp’s bully.
This is a great looking and well told tale of bullying. It’s a film that hits every expected note and does so with images that you will want to hang on your wall. It is a film, that on its own terms is very well done.
The problem for me is that everything in this film is so above and beyond your typical film that it kind of disappoints that the story is so run of the mill. There are no unexpected turns, and the characters are exactly the sort of people we have been force fed for stories like this. I wanted it to say something new.
My quibble aside THE PLAGUE is very good and worth a look
