An eerily realistic film from Steven Soderbergh in 2011 - Contagion, is well worth a watch.

The Vincent Price film "the Last man on Earth"

While the victims become vampire like creatures it is caused by a plague rather than supernatural means.
The plague germ or virus begins to spread in central Europe after a wartime shelling of a cemetery breaks open ancient tombs.

I think Bird Box with Sandra Bullock qualifies

I've seen it multiple times...one of those movies I watch even if I catch in part way through when channel surfing.

I'll add Contagion to the list - best part of that was seeing Paltrow croak early on...

Thanks Al, I nearly spit my stout all over the laptop 😁.

(Yes, it's winter here (almost) and it's stout weather, and it's 19:35, so a pre dinner drink and ΩF surf is totally legal!)

...Not made into a movie yet, but THE STAND is a good one...

There was a made for TV mini series of this back in the early 90's I think. It had plenty of humor to go with end of the world US Army developed virus.

Look for it on YouTube. It was available a couple of months ago.

“28 Days Later” still gives me the creeps.

Damon’s response to the ER doctor after being informed of his wife’s (Paltrow’s) death: “Right, can I go talk to her?” An eerie portrayal of classic shock, and well acted.

Recently saw Blindness with Julianne Moore adapted from the Portuguese book of the same name. Communicable diseases, quarantine, overcrowded hospitals, hazmat suits mass hysteria; it's very relatable

The Andromeda Strain was the first one that came to mind for me. After that I'd have tti say Outbreak and 12 Monkeys.

There was a TV miniseries made of The Andromeda Strain in the 2000’s sometime. I did watch it but it was somewhat disappointing...

No replacing the original.
