00:00In the middle of Rome, Italy, a businessman named Claudio arrives at his company's building
00:04and goes to the elevator, where he receives a call from his wife Lorena, who says she is
00:09extremely frightened because several strange attacks are happening around the city for no
00:13apparent reason. The woman explains that due to the number of clashes that are taking place,
00:18numerous streets around Rome have been blocked off, and the government has created some bans
00:22to control the situation. Suddenly, the lights in the car start flashing, forcing the elevator
00:27to stop moving. Claudio then warns his wife about what has just happened, and Lorena asks
00:32him to do the shopping at the supermarket after work, since she couldn't get there because
00:36of the traffic. Upon hearing this, the businessman becomes enraged, and before ending the call,
00:41he scolds his wife, saying that he already has too many problems to solve in his company.
00:46Shortly afterwards, Claudio contacted the building's security team, who asked him to wait for a few
00:51minutes so that they could investigate the situation. Realizing that he is going to be
00:55late for his meeting, the businessman calls his assistant Sarah and asks if his clients
00:59are still waiting for him to arrive. The woman tells him that she is having great difficulty
01:03keeping the clients calm, but Claudio orders the secretary to wait for a few more minutes,
01:08as he will soon be able to get to his office. While waiting for the elevator to be repaired,
01:13the man hears footsteps outside the car. Desperate, Claudio cries out to be rescued from there,
01:18but he gets no response and is indignant at being ignored by those on the other side.
01:22As time goes by, Sarah gets in touch with her boss again, and tells him that she is getting
01:27desperate, as the client is getting more and more impatient. Furious at all the delays his
01:31meeting is suffering, Claudio bangs on the door of the car and starts threatening those outside,
01:36ordering them to open the elevator immediately. Realizing that he will have to deal with this
01:41situation alone, the man presses the emergency button once more and asks the attendant to give
01:45him the contact details of his colleagues who are carrying out the roof repairs. When he gets
01:50through, Claudio scolds the security team for all the problems they are causing, but at that moment,
01:55the employees start shouting in desperation, causing the call to be interrupted. As he has no
02:00other way of getting help, the businessman removes his jacket and decides that he will try to open the
02:05cabin doors with his bare hands. After a few minutes of effort, Claudio manages to partially open the
02:10elevator and takes advantage of the gap to shout for help, but he gets no response. Believing that his
02:16employees had left work early because their boss hadn't shown up, the man became even angrier and
02:21tried to get through the opening anyway. However, nothing seems to work, and Claudio remains trapped
02:26in the elevator, causing him to become increasingly hopeless. A few minutes later, the businessman receives
02:32a call from his wife, who is extremely frightened, saying that a sinister man is knocking on the door.
02:37Worried, Claudio asks the woman to call the authorities, but she says that the phones and cell phones are out
02:43of signal, so she has no way of calling for help. In order to calm his wife down, the man orders her
02:48to lock herself in her room and stay hidden while he asks Stefano, his driver, to go to her. Claudio
02:54then contacts his employee, asking him to go to his home to calm Lorena down and make sure there are
02:59no intruders around. After this, the businessman talks to his wife again, and the woman reveals that
03:05she is following the numerous emergency reports on the news, where she discovers that hundreds of people
03:10are going mad. Lorena explains that the attacks and collective outbreaks are increasing more and more,
03:15and that they are occurring in all areas of Rome, as if a criminal organization were trying to take
03:20over the city. Claudio then says that Stefano will arrive in a few minutes, and begs the woman to try
03:25to remain calm, saying that these reports are nothing more than media exaggerations. When she hears this,
03:31Lorena manages to calm down and asks her husband to keep in touch frequently so that she can be sure he's
03:36all right. As the call ends, the businessman feels increasingly stressed and starts reading the
03:41news about the recent attacks on his cell phone. At that moment, Claudio hears some screams coming
03:46from the corridor, and when he looks outside, he sees several people desperately running for their
03:51lives. Soon after, the man is surprised by Marta, who begs him to let her into the cabin, but before she
03:57can be rescued by the businessman, the woman is grabbed by her pursuers. In a panic, Claudio tries to hold
04:03on to his ex-girlfriend's arms, but his efforts make no difference and Marta ends up being eliminated,
04:08leaving the man even more desperate. Trying to understand what's going on, the businessman
04:12approaches the doors, but at that moment, he is startled by a pair of zombies who try to break
04:17through the opening to devour him. However, the monsters begin to hear the screams of other
04:22survivors around the building, and thanks to this, they decide to abandon Claudio, who is completely
04:27terrified by what he has just witnessed. Desperate, the man contacts his employee and tries to report
04:33happening, but during the conversation, Stefano ends up having a serious accident, which causes
04:38the call to be terminated. Thanks to this, the businessman is even more devastated, and while
04:43he is lamenting, he receives a call from the security guard, who says he hasn't found any of his colleagues
04:48on the terrace. Trying to save the man's life, Claudio shouts at him to stay in his room, because what
04:54they are facing is not a criminal organization, but a collective zombie outbreak. However, the employee
04:59doesn't listen to his superior, and when he hears knocks on his office door, he decides to answer
05:04the call, causing him to be attacked by the zombies. As a result, the panel's communication
05:09stops working, and Claudio feels desolate when he realizes that from now on, he will have to
05:14survive on his own, with no guarantee of escaping from that elevator. Sometime later, the man begins
05:20to feel increasingly anxious and tries to call his wife so that he can find out if she is still safe.
05:25The problem is that the woman doesn't answer his call, and Claudio is devastated because he believes
05:30that Lorena may no longer be alive. Suddenly, the man receives a call from Sarah, but as he turns to
05:35answer it, he ends up attracting the attention of Marta, who has turned into a zombie. In order to
05:40escape the grip, Claudio throws himself backwards and uses the elevator's support bar to strike the
05:46woman repeatedly, knocking the creature out in a few seconds. The businessman then uses his water
05:51bottle to wash himself after fighting the monster, and soon after, he pushes Marta's body away with
05:56his iron bar. Trying to keep his mind sane, the man tears out the pages of his workbook and places
06:01the sheets of paper on the floor of the cabin so that he can dry the blood around him. At that moment,
06:07Claudio hears someone approaching in the corridors and hides so that he won't be found by the creatures.
06:12However, when he looks outside, he realizes that it is actually Sylvia, and after catching her eye,
06:18the man tries to calm her down, saying that they can leave the building together.
06:22So the businessman asks the woman to help him force the door of the car with the iron bar so
06:26that he can free himself from the elevator. After several attempts, the pair manage to widen the
06:31passage by a few centimeters, but suddenly Claudio drops the object on the floor, causing a noise that
06:37echoes throughout the entire floor. Desperate, the businessman tries to help Sylvia get to the
06:42inside of the elevator, but to no avail, and to avoid being caught by the creatures, the woman runs for
06:47cover. Just then a furious zombie appears and throws itself on the ground to devour Claudio,
06:52who retreats in fright. However, before he could reach his victim, the monster was struck by Sylvia,
06:58and after knocking him down, she finished him off with several attacks using a golf club.
07:03Impressed by the assistant's bravery, the man congratulates the woman on her courage,
07:07and she tells him that she has just destroyed the favorite bat of Mr. Markini, one of the company's
07:12bosses. Upon hearing this, Claudio reveals that the man is none other than the zombie she has
07:17just eliminated, causing Sylvia to feel relieved that her job is still safe. Thanks to her distraction,
07:23the woman ends up being surprised by a group of the zombies, who start dragging their victim away,
07:27and as she is still trapped, the businessman can do nothing to rescue her. A few minutes later,
07:33Claudio feels extremely distraught and starts to follow the news on his cell phone, where he
07:37discovers that the army has been mobilized due to the chaos in the capital. Worried about his family,
07:42the man tries to contact Lorena, who is relieved to discover that her husband is still alive.
07:47Distraught, Claudio says that they have no chance of survival and begins to be consoled by his wife.
07:52At that moment, Lorena realizes that the house is being invaded by several insane zombies,
07:57and calls her husband in a panic. Trying to help her survive, Claudio orders the woman to push the
08:03cupboard against the door so that the creature's passage is blocked. Lorena then asks what she can do
08:07next, but the businessman admits that he has no idea what they can do, as he is feeling hopeless
08:12with everything that is happening. Despite having set up safeguards in the room, the zombies manage
08:17to get through the door, forcing Claudio to listen to his wife being eliminated by the zombie.
08:22After a while, one of the building's employees walks cautiously through the corridors,
08:27and when he comes across the man trapped in the elevator, he asks what's going on. Claudio says he
08:32has no idea what could have caused all that chaos, and suggests that the survivor run away before he is
08:37found by the creatures, since he can't even help him get into the cabin. At that moment, the employee
08:42is surprised by the zombies and runs away to avoid being devoured by the monsters. Hours later, Claudio
08:48begins to have a mental breakdown and shouts for all the creatures to come towards him, allowing him
08:53to take his anger out on his enemies. In the midst of the chaos, the businessman comes across Sarah,
08:58who is being chased by a horde of zombies, and shouts for the woman to hide as quickly as possible.
09:03Despite having reached one of the rooms, the secretary is unable to close the door,
09:09and in order to save her, Claudio begins to make as much noise as possible, even throwing his watch
09:14in the creature's direction. Even so, nothing seems to blur the zombies' attention, and in a few seconds,
09:20they manage to invade the place, causing Sarah to be devoured by dozens of them. With so many losses in
09:25a single day, the businessman begins to lose hope, as he can no longer bear to witness attacks on
09:30countless innocent people right in front of him. In order to stay informed about the zombie attacks,
09:35the man uses his cell phone to follow the news, and during his searches, he finds a video of a
09:40surviving reporter. In the recording, the woman reveals that all police units are confronting
09:45the threats, and says that the people of Rome should leave the city as soon as possible.
09:49During her warnings, the journalist ends up being surprised by a pair of zombies,
09:53and before she can escape, she is attacked by the creatures, who eliminate her instantly.
09:58Thanks to the noises coming from Claudio's device, the monsters return to the elevator door,
10:03where they try to get through the opening to devour the survivor. At the same time,
10:07the building's power is turned off, causing the cabin to be engulfed in darkness. Soon afterwards,
10:13the zombies are eliminated by a shotgun blast, and believing that it might be a policeman,
10:18Claudio shouts for him to be found. The man soon comes across an elite soldier who claims to have
10:22lost contact with his headquarters, as well as losing all the members of his team.
10:26At that moment, Claudio notices that one of the zombies is getting up, and alerts the fighter,
10:32who manages to block the attacks, allowing him to fire at the monster. Realizing that they won't be
10:37able to open the doors by themselves, the soldier decides to go to the terrace so that he can try to
10:42start the generator and rescue the man. Before leaving, the agent reveals that his name is
10:46Marcelo, and so that Claudio can guide him to the roof, he hands him one of his walkie-talkies.
10:52The soldier also hands the businessman his pistol, and after explaining how the weapon works,
10:56he off towards his goal. While waiting for Marcelo to return, Claudio begins to hear some
11:01shots in the distance, and talks to the agent through his radio, asking what is going on.
11:06The soldier then reveals that he came across four zombies along the way, but managed to eliminate
11:11each of them without difficulty. On the ninth floor, Marcelo explains that it won't be possible
11:16to reach the terrace, as several pieces of furniture have been placed on the stairs to act as a kind of
11:21protective barrier. Hearing this, Claudio thinks for a moment, remembering that the ninth floor
11:26was undergoing some renovations, and realizes that there must still be scaffolding outside.
11:31So the soldier heads for one of the rooms and claims to have found the platforms left by the
11:35workers. Now that he is on a new floor, Marcelo asks Claudio to remain silent, as he is about to
11:41cross an area full of zombies. A few seconds later, the man confirms that he has found the exit to the
11:46terrace, and the businessman warns him about the attacks that took place earlier, telling him to be
11:51very careful when opening the door. Marcelo then reaches the power panel, allowing him to restore
11:56the building's electricity, but as soon as the cabin is reactivated, Claudio notices that something
12:01seems to be blocking the doors. Curious, the man uses his cell phone as a flashlight and begins to
12:07investigate, but before he can find out anything, he is surprised by yet another zombie. Trying to
12:13protect himself, Claudio attacks the creature with his gun, and even after missing a few shots,
12:18he manages to eliminate his target. However, this only causes even more zombies to appear at the
12:23elevator door, and noticing the survivor's desperation, Marcelo shouts for him to pull
12:28himself together. Claudio then uses his pistol to eliminate each of the zombies, and believes that
12:33he has just become a great criminal, since all the infected he has finished were his work colleagues.
12:38In order to calm the businessman down, the soldier says that the infected people will never
12:42return to normal, so all they are facing are monsters that look human. At that moment,
12:47Marcelo starts screaming, and before Claudio can understand what's going on, the fighter ends up
12:52being eliminated by the zombies, who destroy his walkie-talkie at the same time. Now that he is
12:57completely alone, the survivor tries to distract his mind, and after learning a little more about his
13:03weapon, he revisits some photos of his late wife. Suddenly, Claudio comes across a group of fighters
13:08who are running through the building while shooting at the zombies, but thanks to the noise,
13:12he can't attract their attention. By nightfall, the businessman no longer has any will to survive,
13:17and so that he can put an end to his suffering, he decides to put an end to everything. Terrified by
13:22the action he is about to take, the man starts screaming desperately, causing several zombies to
13:27come to the elevator door. Claudio then says that he won't have the pleasure of being eliminated by
13:32them, and prepares to put an end to everything. However, before he could do so, he heard the call of
13:37Marcelo, who had managed to escape from the creatures and descend to the roof of the cabin
13:42via the steel cables. In order to open a passage for the fighter, Claudio uses the iron bar to push
13:48the elevator hatch, allowing the man to reach the inside. Marcelo then uses his shotgun to eliminate
13:53each of the zombies, and now that they are safe, he sits down on the ground next to his friend.
13:58Claudio asks what happened on the terrace, and the soul reveals that even after managing to escape from
14:03the monsters, he ended up being bitten on the leg. Realizing that they won't be able to escape from
14:08that place, the pair sit on the floor to reflect on their last remaining hours of life, and the
14:13businessman asks how it all started to happen. Marcelo reveals that the attacks have been going
14:17on since early this morning, and after just a few hours on the mission, he had already lost all
14:22communication with his team. Saddened, the men begin to talk about their wives, and Claudio says that
14:28he regrets everything he has caused in Lorena's life, since he couldn't even protect her in her last
14:32seconds of life. A few minutes later, Marcelo starts coughing non-stop and noticing that his
14:38body and organism are changing drastically, he tells him that he's going to lie down for a while
14:42so that he can rest. In addition, the soldier orders Claudio to keep his gun, because as soon as he
14:48notices that he is unconscious, the businessman will have to shoot him twice in the head. However,
14:53the survivor refuses and Marcelo says that if his friend doesn't help him, he'll do it alone.
14:58Hearing this, Claudio despairs and tries to stop the soldier, who strikes him in the face,
15:02causing him to be stunned. As a result of the strain he has put on his body,
15:08Marcelo is even weaker, and ends up giving up on his decision. A few hours later, the city is
15:13completely abandoned, since by this point, almost the entire population of Rome has been wiped out
15:18by the attack of the ferocious zombies. In the elevator, the soldier's condition gets worse and
15:23worse, but even though Claudio notices the serious condition the man is in, he refuses to finish him off.
15:29Suddenly, Marcelo's wound begins to ooze goo, and now that his body has been completely infected,
15:35the pathogen begins to transform the man. So the soldier ends up becoming another zombie,
15:40and before he can react, Claudio is grabbed by him. As a result of being pushed by the monster,
15:45the businessman shoots himself in the leg, and in order not to be bitten, he shoots Marcelo in the
15:50body, which makes him move away. Claudio then hits the zombie soldier in the head with his gun,
15:55and after firing the second shot his friend had asked for, he ends up attracting the attention
16:00of more creatures. To stop the bleeding, the man uses his tie to make a tourniquet on his leg,
16:05allowing the wound to be controlled. Realizing that his pistol has run out of ammunition,
16:10the survivor uses Marcelo's shotgun to confront the monsters, but the recoil of the weapon causes him
16:15to hit the wall and fall unconscious. At dawn, Claudio wakes up to the shots of other people
16:20exploring the building, but this time he doesn't even try to shout for help, but remains silent
16:25as he surveys the corridors. At that moment, the businessman's cell phone starts ringing,
16:30and after retrieving the device, he is faced with a call from an unknown number. When he answers the
16:35call, Claudio discovers that this is Lorena, and the woman says that she was rescued by a group of
16:40soldiers because she managed to run outside the house before she was caught by the zombies.
16:45After hearing his wife's voice and discovering that she is still alive,
16:48the survivor is extremely moved, but before they can continue the conversation,
16:52the cell phone battery runs out, interrupting the call. Determined to get out of that place,
16:57Claudio uses the iron bar to reopen the cabin door, and after climbing on top of Marcelo's body,
17:03he manages to grab the object that had caused all this. Thanks to this, the businessman finally
17:08manages to free himself from the elevator, and after preparing his equipment, he sets off towards the
17:13exit. In the lobby of the building, Claudio comes across all the victims eliminated by the
17:18zombies, and as he walks, he realizes that one of the creatures is still alive, but its legs have
17:23been removed from its body. As he has no more ammunition in his shotgun, the man decides to
17:28finish the monster off with his feet, and after leaving the building, he walks through the city,
17:33which has been destroyed by the apocalypse. During the journey, Claudio comes across some food left
17:38next to the body of one of the zombies, but when he tries to pick it up, he realizes that the
17:43creature is still alive, and tries to back away so that he doesn't get bitten.
17:46At that moment, the zombies are shot by a soldier, and as he looks at the buildings around him,
17:51the survivor is extremely happy that he has been found by the military. Finally, Claudio signals his
17:57location to the sharpshooters and anxiously awaits his rescue, feeling thrilled to realize that he will
18:01finally be able to see his wife again. So what did you think of this movie? Leave it in the comments
