After a zombie apocalypse, Evie (Crowley) and her husband John (Marcus) struggle to survive on their own. They receive help in the form of a resourceful stranger, Charlie (Kennedy), who shows up one day and offers to assist them. It had a private screening at the Astor Theatre in Melbourne on 29 October 2014 and premiered at the Fantastic Planet Sci-Fi, Horror, and Fantasy Film Festival on 22 November. == Plot == Society breaks down after a virus causes the infected to turn into cannibalistic killers. When Evie's husband John becomes separated from the rest of the group during an attack, the survivors fall back to their emergency shelter. Gary and Evie want to wait for John, as they all agreed they would do in such a circumstance, but Bob becomes increasingly impatient. Citing the realities of the situation, Bob says they must assume John is dead and leave for a more permanent shelter. Although Bob backs down, he later takes the group's car, rifle, and supplies by force. When Gary objects, Bob kills him. Sammy, the group's mechanic, and Marge, Bob's wife, leave with him; Evie stays behind by herself to wait for John. When John finally arrives, he is angered to find that Evie has allowed the others to leave with all their supplies. Evie's protestations are cut short when Sammy returns on foot, delirious and obviously infected. John shoots her as she begins to transform. John and Evie attempt to survive on their own but are besieged by zombies. As John is about to commit suicide, a stranger named Charlie saves them. John greets Charlie with suspicion and explains they have nothing he can steal. When Charlie explains he wants nothing more than their companionship and offers to share his supplies, Evie welcomes him. As the three come to trust each other, John explains that he is a former college professor and Evie is a schoolteacher. Charlie introduces himself as a family man who has lost his family. With Charlie's resourcefulness and skill, the survivors slowly increase their quality of life, though Evie remains bitter about John's previous suicide attempt. When she accuses him of being self-obsessed, Charlie tells her that he can provide for her better than John. Evie becomes uncomfortable, but Charlie pushes for a relationship. John suffers a serious asthma attack, and Evie begs Charlie to find medicine. Charlie insinuates that he knows where to find it, but he will only retrieve it if Evie submits to sex. Desperate, she does. As John and Charlie later talk, Evie searches through Charlie's belongings and finds evidence that he lied about having a family. John initially dismisses her concerns and says that they need Charlie to survive. They run him off when Charlie reveals that he keeps a former lover, who has since become infected, chained in his car to observe. Charlie immediately returns and angrily confronts them; he accuses them of being ungrateful and says that survival is only rule in this new society. Since they can not survive without his help, he asserts that he should have whatever he wants. John surrenders his pistol to Charlie and watches helplessly as Charlie drags Evie into their shelter to rape her. John is anguished by Evie's cries for help but does nothing to assist her. When a lost soldier suddenly shows up, John disarms him and learns about an extraction point. John kills the soldier and shoots Charlie. As he dies, Charlie shoots Evie in the arm. John bandages her, but she struggles to stay conscious. Charlie's car breaks down near the extraction point. Drawn by John's yelling to alert the military forces he assumes must be near, zombies begin to converge on their location. John pushes for them to continue on foot, but Evie is unable. After urging her to stand several times, John eventually gives up and hands her a pistol. When she realizes that he intends to leave her to die, Evie shoots John in the leg and uses him as a distraction while she escapes from the approaching zombies. Evie proceeds on her own to the extraction point as John is devoured by the zombies. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plague (2014 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
