"An apocalypse decided by dreams and conscience"
A deadly government-engineered superflu wipes out nearly all of humanity, and the handful of immune survivors begin having strange dreams pulling them toward two opposing figures: a gentle old woman representing hope and a sinister drifter representing chaos.

It's talky and episodic, more character study than horror, and the 90s TV-movie effects show their age, but the central good-versus-evil buildup and cast of ordinary people facing extraordinary stakes still carries real weight.
the slow-burn buildup of ordinary survivors choosing sides in a literal battle of good and evil.
you need slick production values or fast pacing, since this is dialogue-heavy 90s TV.
