Eradication (2022): Hey what's up guys. Today I'll
show you a zombie horror film: "Eradication"! Spoilers ahead; watch out and take care!
The movie begins with the sound of thunder rumbling, and then we hear a man trying to calm
down a woman, who's seemingly coughing up blood. Now we shift to the visuals, where the couple is
running through a forest. They are both shown to be wearing masks, but then the woman takes off her
mask, and starts coughing up more blood. She tells the man to run away while he can; but she gets
struck by some arrows. The man panics upon seeing this; but there is no respite for him, as even he
is killed off with an arrow to the eye. Now we hear some news stories talking about a pandemic,
caused by a zombie virus of unknown origin. This leads to a global state of panic, with military
drones being employed everywhere. Panic ensues, as even the servers stop functioning after a while.
The world tries to keep up with this state of craziness, and then we see a man named David,
video chatting with his wife named Sam. It turns out that Sam is studying David's blood, in order
to complete her research on the zombie virus. Sam has to go back to work, so she and David
bid goodbye and cut the call. Some time later, David wakes up after a night of troubled sleep,
and sets some egg timers. 2 years pass by, and then David hears a voice note from his wife,
asking him to stay isolated. He's told to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and also to check his body
for symptoms. We learn that David is also infected with the zombie virus; but for some reason,
it hasn't affected him the same way as any of the others, possibly because he's an asymptomatic
virus carrier like Covid 19. David's blood could be the key to saving all of humanity; so Sam asks
him to send his blood to her on a regular basis, so that she can study it. We see David's cabin,
which is in the middle of the woods positioned against a beautiful backdrop. David gets out of
the house in a fully protected suit, so that he can remain free from infection. He is monitored
by a drone; so he quickly drops off his empty cans into a bin, and gets a fresh stock of food sent by
his wife's company: the eradication program. He comes back home, and restocks his supplies
after sanitizing his suit. Sam's voice tells him it's hard to be so far away from him;
but they don't have a choice. David carries on with his regular routine, and then he enters the
computer room, hoping to get on a video call with Sam. However, she doesn't show up as promised,
and then we hear her voice telling David never to go out once it's dark, because the zombies
are weak against sunlight. He views some insects on the glass doors, and then we see a mystery suit
observing him. A zombie roars in the distance, so the mystery suit goes to take care of it.
David begins his day the same way again, but he mentions having a funny dream. There's still no
call from his wife; so he gets upset and tries a landline phone. David takes out a phone book,
and starts trying different numbers; but most of the lines are busy. He eventually manages to
connect to a family, but the call goes straight to voicemail. This affects David emotionally,
but there's no time to waste; so he goes to stock up on his supplies. The day passes by
slowly, and David checks himself out in the mirror. Suddenly, the phone starts ringing,
so he quickly walks up to it and answers the call. He says hello, but the voice from the
other end asks who he is. David is stunned to hear that voice, but doesn't say anything at all. His
egg timer sets off, so he rushes to get a piece of paper that says Happy Anniversary. He enters
the computer room to wish Sam on their wedding anniversary; but the screen remains blank.
Another egg timer is set off, so David goes to check it out. He spots the timer on the floor,
and suspects something fishy. Suddenly, he sees Sam striking a pose in front of him,
so he follows after her. The timer starts ringing again; and that's when he wakes up from his dream.
David notices Sam on his laptop screen, seemingly in tears. However, before he can say anything
to her, she shuts off the video call. David is left with no other choice but to continue with
his daily routine; but when he goes to restock his food supply, he notices that there's meat in
the cans. He shouts at the drone because he's a vegetarian, but there's nothing he can do;
so he goes back home with the food. Now David checks out a manual, that states the zombie virus
to be blood-borne. He goes to the computer room, where he spots his wife; but she's upset with him
because of the recent delays in his routine. She tells him to fill up another bag of blood,
because it's needed at her facility within 48 hours. David does as she says, but asks her if
there's something bothering her. Sam simply tells him to stick to the rules, because they're in
place for his protection. She cuts the call, and then David decides to call the said family again.
The man named Todd, picks up again, and David finally makes an introduction. He learns from Todd
about how brutal things became during the zombie apocalypse. Todd says that he barely managed to
survive the military attack on the civilians, and then he mentions that he hasn't eaten in days.
Todd wants to come see David; but he says this will be impossible because David is now infected,
and has been isolated for 2 years. Todd asks David if he's tested himself, and it confuses David.
That's when Todd mentions that the eradication program had put out testing kits, which could
let people know if they were infected. David has something new to think about,
so he makes a trip to another cabin, not too far from where he's staying. He looks
around and wanders into the bathroom, where he finds a home testing kit. He takes his blood,
and puts it in the solution to see if he's positive or negative for the virus. However,
he hears an ominous noise approaching him, as the wind chimes from a distance. Luckily,
he remains still, so the assumed zombie walks away from the cabin. David makes his way back to his
cabin by walking through a pool, but hears someone behind him. It turns out to be an infected man,
so David asks him to stay back. It doesn't matter because the man turns into a zombie,
and attacks him. David struggles to run away; but then the mystery suit makes an appearance,
and kills the zombie, although it takes 2 arrows to get the job done. David takes his bag,
and rushes back to his cabin; after that, he mumbles how stupid he was to make such an
impulsive decision. The next day, David casually walks around his house, and opens up the curtains
to notice the drone buzzing right in front of him. He has another video call with his wife,
who acknowledges how hard this must be for him; but she maintains that David needs to
carry on with the same routine. He obliges and continues his monotonous and draining journey.
Despite David's best efforts, Sam tells him that it's going to take more time to study his blood,
so it obviously frustrates him. One day, David starts to hallucinate about
Sam being in the same room. He tries to convince himself that she's not real, and the timer
starts to ring again. David is taunted by Sam's hallucination, and he wants her to stop; but she
continues act like a jerk to him. She calls him a coward, and says that he needs her permission for
every single action of his life, even releasing his smelly hormones. David tells her to shut up,
and then he slams the table. That's when he notices the home test he'd taken earlier. It
is shown to be blue, which means that David isn't infected yet. He takes this as a sign to destroy
some of the timers in his cabin by using his ax. David goes back inside the house, and looks at
himself in the mirror. He starts laughing like a psycho, and then he calls up Sam. She tells him
not to leave the cabin anymore; but David doesn't care and mentions the zombie he saw earlier. Sam
asks if he was bitten; but he reassures her that he's safe and clean. Sam tells David that
she's close to finding a vaccine for him, but he hints at knowing he isn't infected. Due to that,
Sam panics and begs David not to leave the cabin again; so he agrees, but this is just a big fat
lie. David dresses into his suit, and leaves the cabin while avoiding the drone. He moves forward,
and eventually spots some hammocks in the forest. David arms himself with his axe,
and checks out the scene, but finds a bloodstained cloth on top of a person. He removes the cloth,
and finds a dead man, presumably the same one at the start of the movie. The drone closes in
on David; so he hides behind a rock, but the mystery suit is also nearby. David gathers all
his courage, and is about to confront the mystery suit in her tent; but it turns out to be Sam.
David is confused, but says it's fine for her to touch him because he's not infected. However,
Sam reveals that she's infected; but David takes her to his cabin regardless. He calls out Sam for
lying to him, but she says she only did this to protect him. David doesn't care that Sam
is infected; so he hugs her out of compassion. Sam explains that she's made a dangerous deal
with the eradication program, which has ended up killing everyone who was infected with the
zombie virus. There's clearly no cure, and Sam is paranoid, because she doesn't want the eradication
program to learn she's here. She notices that David is bleeding, and starts to feel hungry by
looking at the blood. David doesn't want this madness to continue; so he takes Sam's blood,
locks her inside, and tests it on the home kit. He goes looking for food, but is unable to find
anything. David tries to console Sam; but she says she needs to be away from him. David goes looking
for food, and he also contacts Todd, saying he's not infected. He gives Todd directions
to his location, and carries on with his hunt for food. At night, David goes to Sam's tent,
and plays a recording of his first video chat with Sam on her laptop. It turns out that Sam
had bargained a deal with a mystery agent from the eradication program, wherein she would use David's
clean blood for herself, because it suppressed her zombie instincts. Some of David's blood would also
go to the mystery agent, and this was how both David and his wife were allowed to live.
David sees some videos of Sam's daily life, and realizes that she is indeed infected. He calls Sam
to reassure her that he's coming back; but then he gets a call from the mystery agent. David demands
to know what the mystery agent wants from him and Sam, but only gets a message, saying the deal is
off. The drone approaches nearby, and lets out a deadly gas that starts to choke David. He manages
to put on a mask, and get hold of an arrow gun; after that, he runs away from the tent. However,
he's confronted by another drone, that attacks him despite his resistance. David gets cut
and falls off a cliff; after which, he barely manages to get up and walk away. The sun rises,
and David reaches his cabin, only to find the door open. He starts looking for his wife;
but she's nowhere to be found. David tends to his wounds, and takes out a piece of wood stuck to
his back. Then, he realizes that his laptop's webcam is on, so he shuts the flap. Suddenly,
David hears a sound and decides to follow it. He finds a broken-down egg timer, and the tension
grows thicker. David suddenly hears someone behind him, and it turns out to be Sam, who is now a
zombie. David tries to keep his cool as Zombie Sam sniffs his body, wanting to give him a teeth
massage; but then, the timer starts ringing, and it triggers her. A wild chase follows,
but David is able to open the curtains of his room, to fend zombie Sam away with the light.
David doesn't want to give up, so he decides to give Zombie Sam some of his blood to suppress
her. He distracts her for a bit, and draws out some blood while she whimpers. However, before he
can do this, the sun is covered by some clouds, and Sam becomes rabid again. She chases David
after his smelly hormones, and attacks him without hormone mercy; but he holds her close to his body.
Zombie Sam ends up biting David, and she sucks his blood long enough to come back to her senses.
Realizing that there's no light at the end of the tunnel, Sam walks into the sunlight, and burns to
death. David crawls up to his wife, and holds her close during her dying moments; but then,
he notices an army of drones above him. David goes back inside his house, and tries eating some food;
but he spits it out, because his zombie instincts have started to kick in. He puts his hand out into
the sunlight, and watches it burn, thus confirming that he was never immune to the zombie virus in
the first place, and they just kept him alive for his pure blood. David proceeds to feast on some
of his own blood that he finds in Sam's tent. He uses whatever humanity is left inside him to dig
a grave for Sam, and he cuddles next to her. The sunlight starts to burn David, and then the drones
close in on him. Later, Todd finally reaches David's cabin. He doesn't find anyone inside,
and checks out some of the supplies. That's when he hears the egg timer, and follows the sound to
the computer room. The laptop starts a video call with David, but he tells Todd that he's
someone else, and that David has gone to DC to be with his wife after getting cured. It turns
out that David was later saved by the drones, and in order to survive, he's now doing to Todd what
Sam did to him, to take the pure human blood. The movie ends with David telling Todd that he's an
asymptomatic zombie virus carrier, and he needs to start sending blood samples immediately.
