Contagion (2011)

With most outbreak movies, you generally get zombies, monsters or some other supernatural entity. Not in this film. If you get sick, you die. Roll credits. That’s what makes this film so scary.

The film deals with multiple storylines from the CDC, military, governments and families to show the impact of what an outbreak of a new disease would look like. The movie is entirely plausible, as airborne pathogens could be in the air right now, and we’d never know, nor would be get the truth from the people who are trying to avoid mass panic. I think, if there was something like this, we’d just get sick and die, not really knowing what happened.
