After a mysterious infection appears on his wife and children, medical supplies salesman Jae-Hyuk is going through a harsh experience to find a solution. It is a deadly virus that spreads out everywhere, turning into a pandemic across the country, causing people to drown in unexpected terror.
virus thriller Deranged (Yeon-ga-si) tries hard to break free of its Contagion shackles by giving its infection a truly bizarre origin & symptomatology... [but] ends up being both preposterously silly and numbingly repetitive.
Yes, there are messages about the callousness of big business and the recurring foolishness of man tampering with nature, but they're never didactic, and they never overwhelm the film's escapist thrills.
Terrific, engrossing and intelligent epidemic thriller from Korea, which shows up American product like Contagion and Outbreak for their shallowness and commercialism.
