Pathogen (2006) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 2006, Pathogen is a notable film directed by Emily Hagins, running about 68 minutes. “Do you know what happens when you drink the water?” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. An infection which appears to be caused by a bacteria in the water turns out to be more. A fourteen-year-old student, Dannie, feels the real cause is linked to her recurring dreams. When the infection reaches an epidemic level. it becomes clear that this infection not only kills, but restores the body to a minimally functioning state where the infected become the "living-dead". This unique twist on the classic zombie theme, centers around the highly-intuitive Dannie Jacobs and a group of four other middle school students who try to save their friends, their town and themselves in spite of the odds against them. While they are desperately trying to find an answer before it's too late, they meet researcher Sue who may hold the key to the infection and Dannie's dreams.

Who’s in it. Pathogen stars Rose Kent-McGlew as Dannie, Alec Herskowitz as Sam, Tiger Darrow as Christine and Tony Vespe as Cameron, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.5/10, Pathogen has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
