Besat (1999)

We've seen this kind of thing before: an unknown virus, an airport and a virologist. It’s a typical race against time to stop the spread before it becomes pandemic… or is it?
The film blends two different genres, neither of which is very original, but the majority of the cast give strong, impassioned performances and it has the creepy Udo Kier who is his usual great self.
The pacing is good, as is the tension. The scenes set in Romania especially, with its lack of resources, make the threat seem all the more terrifying.
