I’m interested in films set in pre-modern settings where a large-scale natural disaster, divine retribution, curse, unknown phenomenon, or a terrifying creature threatens a city or an entire population.
What I mean includes examples such as:
- Noah (divine retribution)
- Exodus: God and Kings (divine retribution)
- Pompeii (volcanic eruption)
- Nosferatu (both, vampirism & plague-like spread)
- Rampant (zombie outbreak)
- Kingdom (K-drama zombie outbreak)
- Game of Thrones (White Walkers)
- The Great Wall (aliens threatening the world)
- Outlander (alien threatening the Vikings)
- Black Death (plague)
- The Hobbit (Smaug destroying the dwarves’ kingdom)
- Prey (alien threat to the Comanche)
