Ay, new recommendation! Now, I have to check out "Outbreak." Lol.If that's the case, then I suspect you did not like the positive ending of the movie "Outbreak". I actually like "The Hot Zone" very much, and in fact, I plan on re-watching it soon.
The Hot Zone was good -- I thoroughly enjoyed it. I knew it was based on a true story, so no zombies.
I love post-apocalyptic tv series and movies, and I wanted more panic to occur but they tamed the situation. It's pretty surprising that they still don't have a cure for Ebola or HIV.
