Final Thoughts
There are certainly a good mix of good and bad in "The 8th Plague" the plot and pacing are cert5ainly very thing, as its completely about getting to the next random kill and has no focus on developing any kind of likable or relateable story or characters. However despite that it does deliver at what it intends to do, and provides an ultimately enjoyable movie.
