Epidemic (1987)
Member Rating:  
Director Lars von Trier stars in a double role in this experimental horror fantasy. He pretentiously portrays a director who spends a year and a half preparing to make a horror film with help from a government grant. In the second part, he plays a young physician who unknowingly has a plague virus planted in his medical bag. Fantasy sequences depict the possible horror that could come if the virus is unleashed on the public. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

If you are not familiar with a Lars von Trier movie, then you are not going to enjoy this film. His style is not suited for the average movie viewer. This movie is more suited for film students and people who have a real taste for films that involve slow and heavy dialogue. This not a scary movie and contains no action. I would suggest watching "Breaking waves" and "Dogville" if you want a higher quality of Lars von Trier film and want to discover a very unique talent in film making. The other reviewers of this film are obviously totally unfamiliar with his work.

This seems like one of those films that filmmakers often make for...well...themselves. While the premise of a doctor inadvertently spreading a virus through his medical bag sounds interesting, it would help if the story moved along a little faster.

This is the worst movie I have ever rented. No one said it was in black and white, either. I was so boring, we fast-forwarded it to get it over with. The only part that wasn't in subtitles was a short time on the epidemic part, and it was hard to understand. I would never recommend a movie like this.

This movie was really quite unwatchable. It started out interestingly, but soon beacme completely incomprehensible. We watched about the first 20 minutes and felt there was little reason to sit through the rest of it.

Gets a 1/2 star because it played in my DVD player. Other than that, this is the biggest waste of creative effort I have ever had the misfortune to come in contact with. I thought I was getting an End of the World film, but ended with a film making me wish the world would end!

This movie was silly and boring. I don't think it would have mattered what language it was in or who directed it. Boring!!!!!!!!!!!!
