HorrorScience Fiction

When a plague breaks out in Hamburg, several people break out of quarantine and make their way out of the city... only to find that the plague is more widespread.

VIBE

A chillingly plausible descent into societal breakdown. This film feels like a slow-motion contagion, where every escape only tightens the suffocating grip of dread. It’s a stark, unsettling watch that lingers long after the credits roll.
