Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a science fiction horror film: "Antiviral "
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
Set in the near future, fans of celebrities are not satisfied with collecting their idols' posters,
buying the products that are endorsed by celebrities, or even their personal belongings,
like smelly underwear or their dumplings
Instead, Fans now desire a connection with their idols,
through injecting themselves with the same viruses,
and other pathogens that their coveted celebrities have
The Lucas Clinic is a company that sells the viruses that are harvested from superstars to fans
The clinic hires the superstar Hannah as its spokesperson,
which greatly increases the virus' popularity
The clinic is always packed with clients
Syd works as a salesman for the clinic
One day, he receives a young man who comes for Hannah's virus
Syd displays all the viruses that Hannah was infected with on a table
Each virus has a label attached to it; and the clinic store the viruses according to the labels
Syd is an excellent salesman
He successfully sells the most expensive products to the young man
Every day, Syd needs to receive new clients,
and inform the old clients to come and try the new products
As the leading company in the industry, the Lucas Clinic is strict with the control of viruses
Every staff member must go through a security check, before they leave the company after work
However, Syd is not just good at sales, but at stealing too
Whenever there is a new product, Syd will inject some into his body,
before he gives it to the client
When he comes home, he uses an old console that he hides in the wardrobe,
to extract the virus out of his body
However, he becomes weak from doing this from time to time
One day, Syd takes the stolen virus for sale as usual at the flesh market,
in which human meat is produced from the cells of celebrities before selling to the fans
Every day, there are lots of customers coming here to buy meat products
The market owner also trades viruses on the black market
This time, The market owner is not interested in the new virus that Syd brings to him
It turns out that somebody else has sold the virus on the market
Syd would like to know which colleague stole it
The market owner doesn't tell him, as it is a basic rule not to reveal the trader's information
When Syd arrives at the office, his colleague Derek is arrested for stealing the company's property
They also discover a console in Derek's apartment, which was made obsolete by the company
The company decides to check all the consoles, and finds out there is another one missing
The boss talks to every employee, trying to find out who stole it
When it comes to Syd, he pretends to be calm while talking with the boss
Luckily, his boss doesn't suspect him; and he gets away with it
The boss asks Syd to take Derek's place, and collect virus samples from Hannah at her home
Syd is very happy to hear that
Actually, Hannah is his absolute favorite
He dreams about her every night
When Syd arrives at her house, he sees that even her room looks the same as it is in his dream
The living room is full of flowers
A seriously ill Hannah is resting in the bed, with an eyeshade over her eyes
Even though she is not well, Syd still gets excited when he sees her red lips and fair skin
Syd calms himself down, and takes some blood samples from her arm, and puts them into a safe box
Having confirmed the safe box is locked, Hannah's assistant lets Syd leave the house
Syd opens the safe box in the toilet with his own key,
and injects some of the blood samples into his body
However, he doesn't expect that he will experience some severe symptoms so quickly
He becomes so sick that he can't continue his work
He can barely stand properly
He goes home, extracts the blood, and puts it into the machine to do an analysis
While he is waiting for the results, he passes out
A while after, He is awakened by a knock at the door
He finds that the machine has over heated and broken down
He has to hide his blood samples, before he fixes the machine
He gets dressed, and goes to the landlord to ask what happened,
where he sees the tv broadcasting the news of Hannah passing away
Right then, Syd panics, because he is infected with the same virus
He hurries to the meat market to ask the market owner for help,
where people have lined up to buy the last piece of Hannah's meat
Syd hopes the market owner can help him fix the machine
The market owner warns him to be careful
Hannah's virus became extremely precious after she died
Before she died, Syd took her blood sample
And now he is ill
People trading viruses on the black market, will figure out that he has her virus
By then, everyone will fight for the virus in his body
Because Hannah signed an exclusive contract with the Lucas Clinic,
they can advertise and exaggerate her death to attract more clients
Soon, the demand exceeds supply,
and people are all competing for the viruses that Hannah had been infected with before
The Lucas Clinic even offers virus sets
None of these interests Syd at the moment
He is suffering from a mysterious sickness
One night, The market owner asks Syd to meet him, and tells him that he has a way to fix his machine
The market owner leads him to an underground lab, where the market owner trades viruses secretly
There, Syd meets the market owner's partner, Levine, who offers him another machine
however, it is out-of-date
Levine promises to give him a new machine, in exchange for some of his blood samples
Syd refuses and is going to leave
The market owner forces him to stay, and takes blood from his body
The market owner rudely cuts Syd's skin open, and takes some rash samples
After that, they dump Syd on the street and ignore him
Syd struggles to his feet, and wants to eat something in a restaurant
Suddenly, two men dressed in black suits come in, and kidnap him, putting him in a car
Soon after, the car pulls over in front of an old house in the outskirts,
where Syd meets Hannah's personal doctor and assistant
The doctor analyses the virus that Syd has,
and confirms that it is the same virus as Hannah infected
Syd also sees Hannah, who is still alive; but this time, she is not wearing an eyeshade
Hannah is coughing blood every day, and is getting weaker and weaker
Syd learns from the doctor that this virus is not a natural virus,
but a modified version of some virus that Hannah had before
Apparently, somebody made this virus, and got Hannan infected on purpose
In order to stop the person that poisoned Hannah again, the assistant faked Hannah's death
The doctor can't cure Hannah; but he finds that this virus is a variation of a NO.1 virus,
that Hannah was infected with three years ago
They suspect that someone from the Lucas Clinic is responsible for this
The assistant asks Syd to help investigate it, and find a way to heal Hannah and himself
The doctor gives Syd some medicine to ease his symptoms
During the conversation, Syd learns that the doctor is also one of Hannah's fans
The doctor even implants some of Hannah's cloned skin on his body
The doctor admires Syd's courage in injecting the virus into himself
He thinks Syd just wants to experience Hannah's pain
That night, Syd dreams about Hannah again
When he wakes up in the middle of the night, he realizes he starts to spit blood
He can't fall asleep, so he goes out for some fresh air
He is not the only one who can't sleep at night
He looks up, and sees Hannah standing at the window
The next morning, Syd returns to the clinic to work
He learns from the virus keeper,
that the last person who had access to the NO.1 virus, was his colleague Derek
Syd doesn't know much about Derek
Later, he follows The market owner secretly to his lab,
and holds him from behind with a knife, threatening him, demanding to know about the NO.1 virus
However, The market owner is much stronger than Syd
He gets rid of him quickly
The market owner tells Syd that his partner has left him
He doesn't want to get involved in this
With that information, Syd has to leave The market owner, and goes to Derek's place
He breaks into Derek's house; but he doesn't find any useful information
The good thing is he finds a good engine from Derek's machine, and uses it to fix his own machine
Syd starts the research of the virus immediately, and sends the result to Hannah's doctor in no time
Through investigation,
the doctor finds that the Lucas Clinic's competitor Vole & Tesser company
may have something to do with it
The doctor discovers that the virus that Vole & Tesser patents,
is very similar to the one that Hannah and Syd were infected with
While they are making progress on the investigation, Syd is getting weaker
The only thing that supports him now, is his love for his idol Hannah
One day, Syd can't help walking into Hannah's room, and sees her sleeping on her bed,
with an intravenous drip maintaining her life
Syd wants to touch her face, but wakes her up by accident
Hannah is startled and vomits a lot of blood
The assistant comes, and asks Syd to get out
After leaving the room, Syd is abducted by Levine's men, and locked in an empty room,
where his life will be streamed and watched by Hannah's fans,
who are grieving over Hannah's sudden death
They all want to know what happened before she died
Now through watching Syd, they can see the symptoms, and how painful it is
Levine earns a lot of money and popularity, by broadcasting Syd on reality television
Syd is deteriorating quickly without any medical help
He starts to vomit blood like Hannah does, and has visions
His bedding is covered in blood
Even though he is in pain, he is still waiting for a chance to escape
One day, Levine comes into the room to give Syd a health check
While he has his back towards Syd, Syd takes his chance, and stabs him in the mouth with a needle
Syd runs out of the room, leaving Levine screaming in pain
He takes a female staff member hostage, and finally manages to escape
While in safety, He contacts the boss of Vole & Tesser
He has also figured everything out while he was incarcerated in the room
It's revealed that Vole & Tesser company bribed Derek to steal the NO.1 virus
that Hannah was infected with, and used it to produce a NO.2 virus
Derek injected the NO.2 virus into Hannah's body, while he was doing a health check on her
Because Hannah signed an exclusive contract with the Lucas Clinic,
Vole & Tesser company is not allowed to sell the viruses that Hannah has
So Vole & Tesser thought of an idea
They put the virus on the market first, then infected Hannah with it
In this way, they could hype the new virus, using Hannah's death
The boss of Vole & Tesser worries that if this goes to the public,
it may harm the company's reputation
Therefore, she agrees to save Hannah the next day
However, Hannah is too weak to accept any medical treatment
As for Syd, he got infected by himself
Vole & Tesser doesn't intend to spend lots of money on saving him
Syd comes up with a plan,
and offers Vole & Tesser company a deal that both of them can benefit from
He suggests Vole & Tesser buy Hannah's body, and clone her bones and flesh in an afterlife capsule
Among her organs, a beating cloned heart is a symbol that Hannah is somehow "alive"
Later, when Syd shows up again, he has been hired as the senior technician at Vole & Tesser company
His job is to look after Hannah's afterlife capsule
The company will continually develop and administer new viruses to Hannah,
and then sell them to her crazy fans
At the same time, when there is nobody around, Syd would cut Hannah's skin,
drink her infected blood, and shares her pain, as he always did before
