At the beginning of the film, we are shown a man named Aidan.
This man appeared to be depressed and on the verge of committing suicide.
The scene then switches to Aidan's life prior
to his suicide attempt. He strangely heard a commotion outside, as well as the
sound of people banging on the door. When he turned on the TV, he was confused because
he saw an emergency broadcast appeared. At the same time, he even heard the sound of
chaos outside his apartment. As Aidan exited to the balcony, he saw a helicopter
that was out of control and crashed into one of the buildings. He also noticed there were
peoples running in fear below his apartment. Then, as Aidan was panicking, he was suddenly
approached by someone who entered his apartment who turned out to be his neighbour. His neighbour
told him to hide before he rushed to the toilet. Aidan found it strange when he noticed a bite
mark on the back of his neighbor's neck. After that, the whole city began to know about
the outbreak. The zombie outbreak news was being shown on TV at the time. According to the
news, the zombie virus would be spread by blood from scratches and bites.
Plus, a person infected with the zombie virus will bleed in the eye, scream, and engaged
in cannibalism. Aidan then became suspicious of his neighbour when he noticed his neighbor's
eyes were beginning to turn red, and he immediately chased him away.
Fortunately, that person still had consciousness despite being infected at that time. As soon
as his neighbor came out, that guy was instantly attacked by zombies in the corridor.
After that, Aidan seems very confused and at the same time the news advises staying at home,
keeping a safe distance from each other, or better yet, not seeing anyone at all. He then
received a messages from his father, who was going to his place, but it turned out that
something was blocking his father's journey. Aidan tried to call his father but the connection
was lost. As the day passed, Aidan began marking the number of days he had been in lockdown
on the mirror with a marker. On day sixth, he kept himself busy by cleaning his apartment,
which was followed by the news reports stating that in large metropolitan areas had lost
access to water.
At night, he spends time telling stories in front of his laptop camera,
which he records on video for his vlogs.
After two weeks passed, Aidan began to run
out of drinking water and at the same time, his vlog had reached 16 episodes. From this
point, he became frustrated and hallucinated since he had been in the room for a long time,
and not doing anything. Physical burden began to appear on his face as well as a thickening
beard. He pretended to perform music without sound
and playing baseball as a result of his hallucinations. Finally, because he was
already too upset, the activity finished with him smashing the glass. Unexpectedly, the
sound of shattered glass unintentionally attracted zombies, who suddenly appeared and fell from
the vent of his apartment.
Luckily, he managed to hit the zombie with his baseball bat.
He then used his surfboard to block the vent. As time passed, Aidan was still doing the
same activities every day. Until one day, he got a voice message from his mother. From
the voicemail, his mother said that his sister had been out of town before the road was closed.
Aidan was advised by his mother to go to his sister's house. His mother also informed him
that she and Aidan’s father were doing a lockdown at the office, and then he heard
the sound of chaos at his mother's place.
Aidan started to get fed up by all of this,
so he decided to go out and smash the zombies.
But when he was outside, the reality did not
match his expectations, and he was chased by the scary zombies right away.
But fortunately, he managed to return to his apartment safely.
And as he looked through the peephole,
he saw a zombie staring at the door while calling him to go outside.
After more than a month had passed,
the entire city's electricity began to run out.
Then we are returned to the initial scene when Aidan was about to commit suicide.
He began to lose hope on everything at the time, and he decided to end his life by hanging himself.
But then, he saw the figure of a woman who lived across from his apartment.
From that very moment, Aidan decided to cancel his suicide and he began to find his purpose to live.
The next day, he started communicating with the woman using a piece of paper. Through
this communication, he found the woman's name was Eva.
Aidan feels very excited because he can still communicate with other people after being
alone for over a month. He then told Eva that she was the first normal person he had seen
since the zombies attacked. When it started to rain in the evening, Aidan eventually decides to take a shower
after a long period of time without bathing, and shaves his whole beard.
The next day, he continued to communicate
with Eva. Then, he threw a baseball that had been tied to a rope in order to deliver drinks
to Eva.
Then, out of nowhere, a zombie who looks to be good at climbing approaches Eva.
Aidan then immediately lured the zombie, then led him
into his apartment. But at the same time, the other zombies attempted to break into
his apartment. As soon as the zombie outside stopped banging on the door, Aidan grabbed
his baseball bat and killed that zombie.
The story then continued into the night, with
Aidan, who had ran out of food decided to go outside and take the keys from his neighbour
who had died in front of his house earlier.
As what he expected, he was being chased by zombies
at that moment.
He then rushes into his neighbor's house to get the remaining food. He also didn't
forget to take other necessities. However, just as he was about to take the rope, a zombie
emerged out of nowhere and ran towards him. Fortunately, Aidan was able to kill him. Despite
having to deal with zombies, Aidan finally managed to get the necessities and left safely.
Based on the items that he had taken, there were also 2 walkie-talkies that could still be
used. After that, he decided to go down and send
the walkie talkie to Eva's apartment. He then hides first because there’re many zombies
running around below.
After that, Aidan finally managed to throw the walkie talkie into Eva's house.
The next morning, Aidan hears Eva's voice on the walkie talkie and he was
very happy since he could finally talk to Eva. Eva also thanked Aidan for
his struggle the whole time.
As the story progressed, Aidan began to notice that the food stock was running out. He then
decided to look for it by going through the air vent.
And it turned out that there was
one dead zombie there. Aidan then finds an apartment that is still not contaminated by
the zombies. He also found a lot of food.
But then a man who was still normal appeared.
It turns out that he is the owner of the apartment, this old man name is Edward.
Following that, Aidan began to talk with him, and Edward finally allowed Aidan to take some
of his food. But it wasn't that simple; Aidan was suddenly beaten by Edward until he passed out.
In fact, Edward deliberately hit Aidan because he had a his own specific purpose. It turned
out that he did it all to have Aidan devoured by his wife, who had turned into a zombie.
The reason Edward did this because he loved his wife very much. Aidan then protested and
begged Edward not to do that to him. But Edward instead offered painkillers to
Aidan so he wouldn't feel pain when Edward’s wife ate him. Following then, Edward heard
the sound of people banging on his door. When Edward rushed to his door, Aidan tried to
get free and he eventually succeeded.
He then dodged Edward's attack and threw him
at his own wife.
After that, Eva informed that a zombie had managed to enter her house.
Aidan who heard this immediately went down
and shot 1 zombie there.
After shooting him, suddenly, several zombies jumped from the balcony to chase him.
Aidan then immediately ran away and climbed onto the balcony under Eva's balcony and yelling
at her to get down.
In the end, they were able to be together and run away from the
zombies and back to Aidan's apartment.From here, we can see they need to deal with a
lot of zombies along their way.
Finally, Eva managed to safely get into Aidan's apartment.
Aidan, on the other hand, was still trying to fight the zombies outside before he managed to get inside.
He felt as if he had been bitten on his body, causing him to immediately urged Eva to kill
him, but Eva refused since she already loved him.
As a result, Aidan ultimately commit decided to committ suicide by jumping off the building.
However, when he just took off his shirt, they were surprised to find that there was
no bite mark on his body. Before the film ends, they hear that zombies are still trying
to break into the house. And they tried to hold it on.
At that moment, they promised to stick and get through it together.
And the film ends.
To be honest,
despite the fact that the film started with a few of slow scenes, but as the story progressed,
many interesting parts start to appear. Coupled with the appearance of an oldman who added
to the tension in the film.
