Promising Idea, Disappointing Conclusion

All the worldwide children of less than nine years fall in coma at the same time. Ten years later, Tom Russel (James Van Der Beek) is released from prison after killing a man in a fight, and returns to his home town, more specifically to his older brother home, who has a son in coma. Tom intends to rebuild his life, but his ex-wife Jean Raynor (Ivana Milicevic) is hurt and does not want to see him. Along the night, all the children wake up in a violent mood, killing all the adults. A group of survivors, leaded by Tom and Jean, tries to escape to the safety of a base located 60 km outside the town.

"The Plague" has an original idea, with an unknown outbreak that affects only children making them catatonic. When they wake up, the story shifts to a eerie and gore zombie movie, full of clichés but still good. However, from the moment that Jean decides to return to the police station to get weapons on, in a totally stupid and senseless act, the story becomes ridiculous with a disappointing conclusion. In the end, "The Plague" is an average and creepy horror movie. My vote is five.
