"Outbreak" is far from a horror film, but it stands as one of the more frightening films I have seen in the past few years. The notion of a deadly virus entering the United States and wiping out towns in a matter of days is frightening in my book.
"Outbreak" tells such a story, and does it pretty darn well, even if the last twenty minutes are a little bogus.
The deadly Motaba virus has found its way to the U.S. via a monkey that contracted the virus to a pet owner. Soon the virus becomes airborne and is infecting everything in its path.
Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo, Morgan Freeman, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Donald Sutherland are all terrific in this film, which was extremely well-directed by Wolfgang Peterson. Definitely give this one a look.
Grade: A
