Transcript
00:00The movie begins with a young man named Jun Woo, who wakes up one morning and decides to skip school.
00:05Instead, he wants to spend the day playing computer games. He finds a note from his mother
00:09asking him to go out and buy food and household supplies, but Jun ignores it and heads straight
00:15to his computer to play online with his friends. While they're playing, one of his gaming buddies
00:19suddenly shouts, Turn on the TV now and check the news! Jun, curious, switches on the television.
00:25A news anchor is speaking, but suddenly the broadcast cuts off. He grabs his phone but
00:30finds that there's no signal. Looking out the window, he sees people running in panic,
00:35some attacking each other for no apparent reason. Then, to his horror, he witnesses a girl viciously
00:40biting another woman in a disturbing scene. Jun is stunned and doesn't understand what's happening,
00:46and no help is arriving. Soon after, he hears people shouting inside his apartment building.
00:51He peeks through the peephole but sees no one. Just as he's about to open the door,
00:55his neighbor bursts in. The man frantically tells Jun,
00:58Everyone outside has gone crazy. My own brother came into my house completely transformed into a
01:03zombie. He tried to kill me. Please let me stay here for a while. But Jun refuses and says,
01:10If you have a problem, call the police. The neighbor tries to calm him and begs,
01:14Just let me use your bathroom. Then I'll leave. Jun agrees and lets him in. Meanwhile,
01:19the TV signal returns, and the news reports that communication networks are unstable and that entire
01:26cities have descended into chaos due to a new infection. Those who are infected turn into zombies,
01:32extremely violent and driven by a hunger for human flesh. Anyone bitten will also turn. One of the
01:38symptoms is bleeding from the eyes, along with extreme pain. Jun suddenly remembers his neighbor in the
01:44bathroom and, sensing danger, goes to grab a knife. The neighbor walks out, covering a wound on his
01:50neck. Jun raises the knife defensively. The neighbor tries to calm him, insisting,
01:55I'm fine. I just need to stay for one hour. But Jun notices blood on the man's hand and begins
02:01to panic.
02:02Not long after, the neighbor's eye starts bleeding. He glances at the mirror, lets out a horrified scream,
02:08and his body begins convulsing violently. His limbs twist unnaturally until he fully transforms into a
02:15zombie and lunges at Jun, trying to bite him. Jun fights back, managing to shove him out of the
02:21apartment and stabs him as the zombie tries to force his way in. Jun locks the door just in time.
02:26Through
02:27the peephole, he sees a giant zombie attacking his neighbor's body and devouring it. Jun is in complete
02:32shock and doesn't make a sound. Terrified the zombie might hear him, blood starts seeping in under the
02:38door. Jun, frozen in fear, drags a large refrigerator in front of the door to block any intruders.
02:44He rushes to the sink, splashes his face, hoping this is all just a nightmare. But it isn't. It's
02:50real. He tries to call his sister, but the network is too weak. Then a message from her finally arrives.
02:56It says, don't worry about us. I'm safe with mom. Never open the door. Make sure the food you have
03:02lasts,
03:03divide it carefully over the days, and beware of the zombies. The city is full of them.
03:07Jun looks at a photo of his family praying for their safety. He gathers all the remaining food
03:13in the house and realizes how little is left. Regret fills him. I should have listened to mom
03:18and gone shopping. He falls asleep on the couch. The next morning, the news reports that the outbreak
03:24is getting worse. More people are turning into zombies. A reporter asks a doctor what people should
03:29do. She replies, zombies become extremely violent and unpredictable. Everyone must stay inside,
03:36lock up securely, and store enough food for at least two months. No one should leave their homes
03:40until further notice. Jun sees people online posting photos with their names and addresses,
03:46begging the army and police for help. Inspired, he writes his own details on a piece of paper,
03:52takes a photo, and uploads it in hopes of being rescued. He watches a video of someone stepping out onto
03:57their
03:58balcony, holding up their phone, trying to catch a signal, and they succeed. But then the person
04:03loses balance and falls from the balcony. This gives Jun an idea. He attaches his phone to a drone
04:09and connects it to his VR goggles to control it. He flies the drone into the sky, surveying the destroyed
04:14buildings and wandering zombies below. He flies it higher in search of a signal. It works. He gets one bar
04:21and quickly tries to call his sister. But just as the call is about to go through, the drone's battery
04:26dies and
04:26crashes, taking his phone down with it. Hopelessness consumes Jun. He slumps at his computer and tries
04:33to play games to kill time, but the network is still down. That night, he hears strange noises from
04:39the street. He peeks out of the window. But suddenly, a gunshot narrowly misses him. Outside, a female
04:45police officer is trying to fend off a horde of zombies. She's running out of bullets. Desperately,
04:51she loads her last magazine, but it's not enough. Just before the zombies reach her,
04:55she tries to shoot herself, but she fails. The gun drops and the zombies drag her screaming across
05:01the street. Jun witnesses everything and sets his sights on the fallen gun. He needs it to protect
05:06himself. Suddenly, loud banging starts at his door. He grabs a baseball bat and braces for impact.
05:13The pounding is so strong that the fridge blocking the door shifts and falls. To his horror,
05:18a zombie emerges from behind it. Jun realizes he can't fight the zombies off for long,
05:23so he runs toward the balcony, thinking of a bold escape plan. He rushes out and pretends to jump,
05:29but in reality, he just hangs off the edge, clinging tightly. The zombie chasing him leaps off right
05:35after him, believing Jun had jumped too, but the zombie falls to its death. Jun looks down, sees the body,
05:41and feels a deep sense of relief. From a distance, he spots a massive horde of zombies roaming the
05:47streets. Among them, he notices the same police officer who had previously turned into a zombie.
05:53Jun quickly shuts the door to his apartment and nails it shut with planks to prevent any more
05:57intrusions. As he assesses the damage inside, Jun sees that all the food he had left has spilled out
06:04of the fridge during the earlier zombie attack. He feels crushed. This was the last of his supplies.
06:09Just then, he hears a woman screaming in the street. He grabs his tablet and starts recording a video,
06:15saying, This is my second day locked inside the house. I don't know what to do. I feel like it's
06:19a miracle I'm still alive. After seven days of being trapped, Jun pulls out his late father's alcohol
06:25bottle. There's nothing else left to drink. We see that he's covered the entire balcony with sheets
06:31and barriers so zombies can't spot him. He watches the news, which continues to show scenes of zombies
06:36flooding the streets. He prepares instant noodles and eats, then accidentally knocks over the water
06:42bottle, spilling his last clean water. Furious at himself, he's forced to drink the water from the
06:48floor. Despite the circumstances, Jun still refuses to leave the house, even though he desperately wants
06:53the fallen police officer's gun. When he turns on the TV again, it's the same broadcast. No progress,
06:59no solution. The announcers still urge people to stay indoors. More days pass with no updates.
07:07Jun begins drinking his father's alcohol more frequently, eventually dancing aimlessly around
07:12the apartment in a drunken state. In his intoxication, he starts hallucinating that his family has returned.
07:19He sees his mother and runs to hug her, only to snap out of it and realize it was all
07:25in his imagination.
07:26He breaks down in tears from emotional exhaustion and dehydration. Later, Jun receives a voice message
07:33from his mother. Desperate to hear her voice, he climbs out the window, trying to catch a signal.
07:38The plan works. He manages to get a weak connection, and his mother answers, but what he hears shatters
07:44him. We're at the Attebok company. There are zombies breaking in. Then he hears her and his sister
07:50screaming as zombies attack them. The line goes dead. Jun cries hysterically, consumed by helplessness
07:57and rage. In a fit of madness, he smashes everything around him, including the television. He finally
08:03snaps. Completely unhinged, he runs outside, kills the zombie at his door, and begins screaming and
08:10raging in the street. He sees his neighbor, now fully zombified, feasting on a corpse. The zombie
08:16starts approaching him, but Jun screams at him to back off. Unfortunately, the noise draws the
08:23attention of nearby zombies. Jun sprints toward the elevator, hoping to escape, but inside is another
08:29zombie. He quickly runs away and hides, holding his breath to stay silent. Eventually, he sneaks back
08:35into his apartment, but a blind zombie is right behind him. Jun stays perfectly still, silent and frozen.
08:42Luckily, the blind zombie passes by without noticing him. He finally makes it back into his apartment,
08:49but the sound of him locking the door draws the zombies' attention. They begin pounding on his door.
08:55Jun holds the doorknob tightly, resisting with all his strength until the zombies eventually give up and
09:01walk away. Twenty days have now passed. Jun has finished all the alcohol. He looks outside and sees
09:07electrical substations exploding. Soon, the entire building loses power. Hopelessness sets in. He
09:13picks up his camera to make one last video but can't even utter a single word. Emotionally destroyed,
09:19he decides to end his life. He ties a rope and prepares to hang himself. As he begins to lose
09:24consciousness, a red laser suddenly shines on him from the apartment building across the street. It points
09:30to a board that simply says, No. Jun snaps out of his attempt and unhooks himself. It turns out a
09:36woman
09:37in the neighboring building named Kim had spotted him and was trying to stop him with her laser pointer.
09:42She continues signaling to him, using a board with written messages, asking him not to speak aloud to
09:48avoid alerting the zombies. They agree to communicate using hand gestures. She calls him an idiot for
09:53thinking about suicide and they agree to meet at their windows every morning at 7am. Jun smiles.
09:59He's found another survivor and hope returns to his heart. We cut to Kim in her apartment. She has
10:05set traps by the doors and keeps weapons close. Fortunately, she has enough food supplies. The next
10:11morning, Jun wakes up and realizes he overslept. He rushes to the window and doesn't see her there,
10:16but Kim soon appears, cautiously checking the area before coming to the window. She scolds him,
10:21You're late. He apologizes, and they introduce themselves. Suddenly, Kim spots a zombie inside
10:28her own apartment. She tells Jun they'll meet at the window again tomorrow at 7. She returns inside
10:34and sees the zombie caught in one of her traps, hanging. Calmly, she grabs a hammer and finishes
10:39it off. That night, it starts raining. Jun and Kim take the opportunity to collect rainwater using
10:45every cup and bowl they can find. The next morning, Jun shows up at the window, clearly starving.
10:50Kim notices and decides to send him food. She tries to toss him a ball attached to a rope so
10:56they can
10:57build a line between the two apartments, but it fails. The distance is too great. Then,
11:03Jun brings out a second drone he had, this time tying a rope to it. He flies the drone across
11:08to
11:08Kim's apartment, successfully connecting the line between them. Kim successfully manages to send a
11:13bag of food to Jun using the rope, and he's overjoyed when he receives it. He thanks her sincerely,
11:18but his happiness quickly turns into panic when he notices a catastrophe unfolding outside.
11:24One of the zombies in the street has grabbed onto the rope she threw and is now tugging on it
11:28with
11:28great force. The table anchoring the rope begins to slide, dragging Kim with it. She falls, unconscious,
11:34and the table ends up hanging right outside her window. The zombie takes advantage of the situation
11:39and begins climbing the rope toward her. Jun, seeing this, is desperate to do something. He starts
11:45throwing bottles at the zombie to stop it, but they don't reach. The creature keeps climbing,
11:50undeterred. Thinking quickly, Jun launches his drone and flies it directly to the zombie. He circles
11:56around it, trying to distract it. The plan works. The zombie becomes disoriented. Meanwhile, a larger
12:02group of zombies begins surrounding Jun's building, attempting to break in. The zombie climbing toward
12:08Kim grabs the drone, but just as it's about to reach her window, Kim regains consciousness.
12:13She grabs a weapon and cuts off the zombie's hand, killing it before it can get any closer. The zombies
12:19below scream in rage at her. Meanwhile, Jun wraps duct tape around his shoes to muffle the sound of
12:24his footsteps and grabs a stick. He sneaks out of his apartment and spots a part of his neighbor's body
12:30on the ground. He takes the neighbor's keys and breaks into the apartment. Inside, he heads straight to
12:35the fridge, taking all the food he can carry. In one of the rooms, he finds a corpse lying motionless.
12:41He cautiously checks if it's alive or dead. Suddenly, a zombie lunges at him from behind.
12:48Jun uses the dead body as a shield and escapes, running for his life, but luckily makes it back
12:53to his own apartment safely. Relieved, Jun enjoys the food he collected and prepares a portion to send
12:59to Kim, along with one of the walkie-talkies he found in the other apartment. The next day,
13:04they communicate through the walkie-talkies. Jun is thrilled to finally talk to someone again.
13:09Kim thanks him for the food, admitting she ate it all. Jun responds,
13:13I should be the one thanking you. You saved my life. But Kim humbly replies,
13:17I didn't save your life. You wanted to live. I just gave you a reason to hold on.
13:22Jun smiles, telling her, Either way, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't still be here.
13:27They change the subject and begin cooking at the same time, sharing casual conversations throughout
13:32the day. They get to know each other more. Kim confesses she's afraid of heights.
13:37Jun is surprised, saying, How can a woman who chopped off a zombie's hand be afraid of heights?
13:42Kim laughs and says, I don't think of them as people anymore. That's why it was easy for me.
13:47Suddenly, both hear what they think is rain, and they get excited to collect water. But they quickly
13:53realize it's not rain at all. It's the sound of a massive horde of zombies running toward the building.
13:58Panicked, both Jun and Kim drop to the ground, trying not to make a sound. But Kim accidentally
14:04knocks over a table. The loud crash draws the zombies toward her apartment. Terrified,
14:09she radios Jun and tells him what just happened. Jun doesn't hesitate. He comes up with a distraction
14:15plan. He calls the phone line of another apartment in Kim's building. The ringing sound draws the
14:20zombies away from Kim's unit, buying her precious time. The two then agree it's time to escape the
14:26buildings and find a safe place. Kim believes the eighth floor of a specific building nearby
14:31is clear of zombies. She's been observing it for days and hasn't seen any movement.
14:37Determined, Kim decides to go first. She ties a rope to herself and climbs out the window.
14:42On her way down, she encounters several zombies. But she fights them off with precision,
14:47using her weapons and sheer determination. Despite their numbers, she handles them like a pro.
14:52Jun watches in awe. She retrieves the gun that was lying on the ground, but just as a zombie is
14:58about
14:58to bite her, Jun rushes down and joins the battle. Together, they fight side by side,
15:03fending off the creatures. They manage to escape and run toward the building Kim mentioned. Once
15:08inside, they slam the door shut, but the glass is weak and won't hold for long. The zombies begin
15:14smashing it. Jun and Kim quickly rush to the elevator, barely making it in time, and enjoy a moment of
15:20safety. They reach the eighth floor and begin inspecting the hallway. There's no sign of any
15:25zombies. They try opening some of the apartment doors, but all are locked. Then, they suddenly see
15:31a zombie approaching from behind. Within seconds, a whole army of zombies appears. Jun slams down a large
15:38iron gate across the hallway to delay the hoard, buying them time, and begins attacking. Eventually,
15:44Kim manages to open the door of one of the apartments, but suddenly, someone pulls her inside.
15:49That person throws a smoke grenade to cover their movement and calls for Jun to follow.
15:54Jun rushes in, and for a brief moment, they find safety. But Kim is suspicious and asks,
15:59Who are you? The man introduces himself as Seung and says, You should be thanking me.
16:05Kim is still confused and says, I was sure no one was on the eighth floor. Seung responds,
16:10I thought I was the only one alive in this whole area. He offers them some water, but Kim hesitates,
16:15until he drinks from the same bottle. Only then does she feel safe enough to drink too.
16:21Seung also offers them food, saying, Eat this while we wait for the rescue team.
16:25Both Jun and Kim are shocked, and hopeful, to hear that a rescue team is coming. Seung explains,
16:31I saw it on the TV. Jun, overwhelmed with joy, hugs Kim, feeling that finally, there's a chance to survive.
16:38But just a few minutes later, Jun suddenly collapses. He's been drugged. It turns out Seung had laced the
16:44food with a sedative. Kim doesn't have time to react. She, too, collapses. Seung drags Kim across
16:50the floor into another room, ties her up, and locks her inside. When Kim regains consciousness,
16:56she finds herself face to face with a zombie, chained beside her. Then she hears Seung's
17:00voice from behind the door. He starts releasing the zombie toward her. Shockingly, Seung reveals
17:06the truth. This zombie used to be his wife. He wants her to feed on any living human to survive.
17:11That's why he locked Kim inside. He's offering her as food to his undead wife. At that moment,
17:18Jun wakes up and aims the gun at Seung, calling him a monster. Seung, desperate, says,
17:22I'm just trying to save my wife from death. He then releases the zombie's chain and tells Jun,
17:27Let her eat Kim and I'll let you live. I'll even give you all the food you want.
17:31He pleads with Jun to agree, but Jun struggles to hold onto the chain. It slips from his hand,
17:36and the zombie moves closer to Kim, who screams in terror. Jun tries frantically to open the door,
17:42and Seung falls to the ground. Then suddenly, Kim goes quiet. Thinking it's over, Seung opens the
17:48door to check, but his zombie wife turns on him and attacks. In that moment, Kim grabs the gun and
17:54aims it at them. Seung does nothing. He lets himself be eaten. Let her feed, he says, offering
18:00himself willingly. Kim, with no other choice, pulls the trigger and kills both Seung and the zombie.
18:06But the gunfire echoes through the building, and every zombie in the area hears it. They begin
18:11swarming toward the apartment. Kim and Jun hear the growls and pounding footsteps. Dread sets in. They
18:18fear this is truly the end. Kim hands the gun to Jun and pleads, Shoot me! Jun, shocked and crying,
18:25hesitates. But before he can do anything, they suddenly hear the sound of helicopters above.
18:30They rush to the window and spot military helicopters circling. Quickly, they head to the rooftop,
18:35throwing smoke grenades as signals and fighting off zombies along the way. As they climb the stairs,
18:40Kim slips and falls, but Jun saves her and shouts for her to go up first and stop the helicopter.
18:45She reaches the rooftop, but by the time Jun follows and locks the door behind him,
18:50the helicopters are gone. They'd left. Jun stands in disbelief. He screams, pleading for help from
18:57anyone who might still hear. The zombies break through the rooftop door and charge toward them.
19:03Jun shoots two with the last of his bullets, but then the gun clicks empty. Just as they brace for
19:08death,
19:09a military helicopter suddenly appears and opens fire on the zombies. The soldiers shoot every last one of
19:15them clearing the rooftop. They call for Jun and Kim, who climb aboard. The helicopter lifts off into
19:21the sky. They're safe. As they fly over the ruined city, they hear a radio broadcast announcing that
19:27over 50,000 people have been infected. The city has become nearly uninhabited. Then the broadcast
19:33mentions how the military discovered Jun's location, thanks to the photo he uploaded online. And with that,
