Viral (2016): Hey what’s up guys. Today
I’ll show you a zombie horror film: “Viral”! Spoilers ahead; watch out and take care!
The movie begins with a recording of various news channels, talking about a zombie virus
that is created by a worm parasite. People are calling this virus Worm Flu; but the President
says that everything is alright. Now, we move to a college setting where a girl named Emma, is spying
on a couple tongue massaging each other. She is suddenly interrupted by her friend Curly, who
thinks she’s being a creep. Emma denies staring at the couple, and then she is greeted by her crush,
Evan. Curly tells Emma to wear revealing clothes if she wants Evan to notice her more often.
However, Emma says that Evan might be a bottom guy over a top guy. Now, it’s time for biology class,
and Emma has to dissect a frog. She feels disgusted by this activity, so her bald teacher
Baldie, tells her to take it easy and chew some gum. Emma gets a text from a girl on her period,
who wants some tampons. she reluctantly goes to give the tampon to the period girl, who ends up
touching her head with her smelly hand. later, Emma meets her sister Stacey, and her boyfriend
Weirdo, who makes an acquaintance with her. Emma notices that Weirdo’s foot has been injured;
but he proceeds to practice hormone yoga with Stacey to make her jealous. Stacey spots Evan, and
convinces him to come home with her and Emma. After that, Stacey’s and Emma’s dad comes to
pick them up, and he is revealed to be Baldie. It’s an awkward ride, and it gets even weirder
when Emma’s mom calls Baldie. It looks as if the parents are getting a divorce, so Baldie decides
to end the conversation early. Stacey dares Emma to grab Evan’s smelly part; otherwise she’ll tell
him that Emma loves him. This makes the sisters argue for a bit, so Baldie asks them to behave.
Evan simply smiles because he’s getting attention. Evan is dropped off; after which, the family meets
a strange neighbor. The neighbor asks Evan to give some pliers to his dad; but Evan seems to hate his
father. In the evening, the family sits down for dinner; but Stacey keeps looking at her phone,
and it makes Baldie upset. He asks her to focus on the family; but Stacey acts like a jerk,
and talks about how things are going between her dad and mom. Later, Emma video chats with Curly,
and is shown a video of a zombie attack. Emma gets scared; but Curly says it’s nothing to
be scared of. Now, Evan throws a paper plane into Emma’s room, with a drawing of a frog. It
makes Emma’s eyes light up, so she goes out of the house to see him. Evan tries to be playful
with Emma by talking to her over the phone, even though she is in front of him. Their romance is
cut short when Evan’s dad shows up, and makes things very uncomfortable for the couple. Evan
feels bad about being humiliated by his dad, so Emma gives him a kiss to make him feel better.
afterward, Emma talks to her dad, and asks him if everything is fine between him and Mom. Baldie
says that things are tough because he just got a demotion; but he reassures Emma that all is well.
The next day, Baldie talks about a parasite in class, and shows everyone a video clip. He also
says that the Worm Flu can be linked to parasites, and then he shows a video of a rat zombie. Baldie
explains the scientific aspect of such a virus; but Evan thinks that this is similar to a zombie
outbreak. Baldie rubs it off as a joke; but then Curly starts coughing. Emma worries for her,
because she knows that Curly’s mother has been sick as well. Emma goes after Curly when she runs
away from class, but finds her experiencing a seizure on the floor. Emma calls for help,
and a boy comes to the rescue. He tells Emma to go to the medical room; but then Curly wakes up.
Unfortunately, she seems to be infected, and she spits blood into the boy’s mouth,
rather than giving him a lip service. Later, Emma is questioned by a nurse regarding Curly’s health,
and then she is escorted by Baldie. The school ends up cancelling its classes, and Baldie
says he has to go get their Mom from the airport. Emma and Stacey hitch a ride home, and Emma tries
calling her friend Curly. The call goes straight to voicemail, so she goes to her room. She spots
a deer through the window and smiles; but then a helicopter passes by, and the deer vanishes. Now,
Baldie calls the girls, and says that he’s stuck on his way to the airport. However,
the entire city has been put in a quarantine in order to stop the spread of Worm Flu. Since Baldie
can’t come back, he tells the girls to stay at home, and also says not to call any boys over.
At night, Emma changes her clothes, but gets a text from Evan, saying he can see her. She feels
shy; but he says that he’s only being a gentleman. The girls watch TV, and Emma wants to hear The
President’s speech; but Stacey gets bored, so she changes the channel. Emma goes to the kitchen,
and hears a weird sound, so she decides to check up on it. A tense sequence follows as Emma walks
up to the door, and checks if there’s someone outside. She gets jump scared; so she immediately
rushes to Stacey, and asks her to check it out. Stacey acts very casual about the whole thing,
so she opens the door without a care in the world. Nobody is there; but then, Weirdo pops
up to scare the girls. Emma wants to know why he’s here, so he explains that he wants to get
freaky with her sister. He chases after Stacey to her bedroom, so Emma checks out some online chat
rooms discussing the Worm Flu. She comes across a conspiracy theorist, but keeps getting disturbed
by Weirdo and Stacey’s hormone yoga. The next day, Emma spots some vans in her neighborhood,
and finds some meals and a disaster kit at the front door. The three check out the disaster kit,
which comes with a cautionary message regarding Worm Flu. However, Weirdo and Stacey don’t think
much of it, so they fool around with the face masks in the disaster kit. Suddenly, Stacey
gets a call from her Mom, who seems to be fine, although she’s still stuck at the airport. Weirdo
gets obsessed with the food that’s been sent with the disaster kit; but Emma tells him to control
himself, because they have limited supplies. Now, Stacey shows up, and says that she’s going to
a house party even though there’s a curfew. Emma finds out that Stacey has also invited Evan to
the party; so she tags along reluctantly. At the party, Emma and Evan flirt with each other; but
Weirdo goes missing; so Stacey goes looking for him. Emma and Evan decide to get a room together,
but run into another couple in the middle of their hormone yoga. They eventually find a bathtub where
they can chill together, and Evan tells Emma that he likes her. They’re about to tongue massage
each other, but get disturbed by Stacey, who is fighting with the couple they ran into earlier.
It turns out to be Weirdo, who was cheating on Stacey. As Emma tries to console her sister,
one of the students turns into a zombie, and starts violently attacking everyone. The sisters
hide inside a room, and peep out of the window to see what’s going on. They spot a student getting
killed by the zombie; so they try to be as quiet as they can. The girls start walking out of the
room, but knock over a bottle that alerts the zombie. Suddenly, the zombie attacks the sexy
girls, and spits blood into Stacey’s face, rather than harassing her body. The zombie goes for the
sexy Emma next; but Evan manages to kill him just in time. The zombie parasite sneaks into
Stacey’s eye, but she doesn’t tell Emma about it. Later, Stacey tries to wash the blood away,
and Emma learns that the zombie apocalypse is spreading all over the world. The next day,
some army scientists show up to scan the girls for the zombie virus. They are asked if they were
in contact with a zombie recently; but Stacey denies it. The girls try to call their parents,
and eventually get in touch with their father. Baldie orders the girls to lock the doors and
windows; after which, he also tells Stacey to find his gun. The call gets cut, and then we learn that
the Chinese government has started bombing areas with infected zombies. Suddenly, there’s a news
alert where the president declares Martial law. The girls search for Baldie’s bald gun; but Emma
finds her mom’s wedding ring; so she wants to know what’s going on between their parents. However,
Stacey tells her to relax, because there’s nothing to talk about. At night, Emma tries texting
Baldie, but her messages can’t be sent because of no network. The girls spot their neighbor asking
the military to look at his sick wife, but the military forcefully takes her away, and threatens
the neighbor. Sensing imminent danger, the girls decide to get into their car and leave. Emma goes
to Evan’s house, and tries to call him; but his dad shuts the windows to his house. The girls try
to escape in their car, but are stopped by some soldiers. Stacey doesn’t listen, and tries to
talk to the soldiers; but she gets threatened. Luckily, another car shows up, so the soldiers
get distracted, thus allowing the girls to go back home. Stacey’s infection grows worse, and now the
government passes an order, making it illegal to harbor an infected human. Stacey notices an
ugly mole growing on her neck, so she tries to pop it with a pin, but it’s of no use. At night,
the girls sit down for dinner, and then Stacey finally tells Emma that their dad cheated on their
Mom with one of his students. Emma gets emotional, but Stacey starts to cough aggressively. Suddenly,
Evan shows up begging to be let inside; so Emma opens the door, much to Stacey’s dismay.
It turns out that Evan’s dad is now a zombie, and he’s chasing after Evan. Everyone wears
their masks, and tries to be quiet; but they get jump scared when Evan’s Zombie dad breaks into
the house. He slowly approaches Emma with his ugly parasite antennae, but Stacey shows up and shoots
him down with her gun. However, she also starts turning into a zombie, and coughs up some blood.
Emma locks her sister inside the bathroom, and discusses a solution with Evan. They decide to
trick the army into thinking that everyone is dead in their house, by spraying on the wall that there
are no survivors there. After that, Emma goes to her sister, who is feeling uncontrollably hungry.
She tells Emma to leave while she still can; but Emma says that she’s not going to give up on her.
Now, Emma does some research on the parasite, and figures out she should try to remove it
from Stacey. As she sits on the roof, Evan shows up and tries to console her using his muscles;
but Emma says she can’t leave her sister alone. Unfortunately, Weirdo shows up inside the house
to tell Stacey that the army has abandoned the town; so the survivors are trying to make it
out on their own. He finds Stacey locked inside the bathroom, and offers his hand to her; but
she brutally eats it, because her zombie instincts have taken over. Emma and Evan rush to the scene,
and witness the brutal aftermath. Stacey is still able to talk, so Emma and Evan prepare
a drug meal that will make her fall asleep. Emma gives Stacey the drug meal, and offers her
hand as part of a test. The sisters hold hands, and Stacey tells Emma to go find their dad if she
doesn’t make it. Stacey falls asleep, so Emma and Evan open the door in order to remove the parasite
from her. Emma chews on some gum to keep herself calm, and then she notices the mole on Stacey’s
neck, which starts to move around. Emma blocks it with some tape, and this chokes the parasite; so
it tries to come out of Stacey’s body to breathe. Emma takes this chance to pull out the parasite,
and a tense struggle follows. Eventually, it is Stacey who pulls out the parasite, and then Evan
kills it. Stacey is back to being human; so Emma feeds her to give her some strength. The sisters
have a bonding season, but Stacey is upset to learn that Emma and Evan haven’t shared hormones
yet. Now, the army monitors the neighborhood, and plans on taking action against whoever is
still there, zombie or human. Evan listens in on the radio, and learns that the nearby areas
are getting evacuated. Emma goes to check up on Stacey, but sees her as a fully formed zombie. She
gets attacked, but this turns out to be a dream. Unfortunately, Evan tells Emma that Stacey has run
away with all the supplies. Emma chases after her sister into another house, and Evan reluctantly
follows after her. They find the residents of the house dead at the table, seemingly from suicide.
Suddenly, they hear a noise and follow it, hoping to find Stacey. They enter a storeroom,
and look around for a bit. The tension grows thicker as they find an army of hibernating
zombies, with Zombie Curly also on the floor. Evan and Emma accidentally make some noise,
so they run away from the zombies in a hectic chase. They lock themselves inside a room,
where they find Stacey who is going crazy, because the zombie voices are telling her
to kill Emma. In an emotional sequence, Stacey turns into a zombie, and is about to attack Emma;
but she shoots her down. There isn’t much time to grieve, as the zombie army breaks through the
door. Evan takes Emma away despite her incessant crying, and then they climb up the roof. A fighter
jet is about to blow up the neighborhood, so the couple jumps into a swimming pool. They survive
the explosion; but all that’s left is death and devastation. Now, Emma and Evan walk around town,
and Emma finds a photograph of her family stuck on a gas station. It turns out, Baldie has left
this picture with a message, stating that he and their Mom are in Washington DC. Emma is relieved
to see this, so she and Evan get into a car, and begin their journey towards Washington. The movie
ends with the couple sharing a kiss without using their tongues, and setting off to find Baldie.
