Eradication (2022)

David has been in isolation for a couple years due to a virus that’s broken out.  He spends his days with timers set for tasks and is told not to venture out after dark.  He misses his wife Sam, who he only sees on video calls at designated times.

Sam tells David his blood is the only hope for the future. She’s infected and his blood could be the cure.  Apparently he’s the only person who hasn’t become infected by the disease. 

At designated intervals, he draws blood and brings it to a drop off point where he exchanges it for food.  At one point he gets bent out of shape because he’s given canned food that contains meat and he’s a vegetarian.  It’s ridiculous to be so arrogant during an apocalypse.  

It feels like the zombies must come out after dark since he’s told not to leave the house other than during the day. But at one point, he runs into a zombie during the day. So what’s really going on at night?

There are only a few actors in this film and it’s mostly David alone.  There’s no zombie action, it’s pacing is slow, and you’ll be left with questions.
