Extinction is a post-apocalyptic thriller set in a world where humanity has been ravaged by a deadly disease, transforming much of the population into mindless, zombie-like creatures. The story centers around three survivors—Patrick (Matthew Fox), his younger brother Jack (Jeffrey Donovan), and Jack’s young daughter Lu (Quinn McColgan)—who have found refuge in an isolated cabin deep in the woods, far from the chaos of the outside world.

The film opens with a tense and quiet atmosphere, as the trio struggles to maintain their fragile existence in a world that has been devastated by the outbreak. The creatures, known as “infected,” have overtaken cities, and only a few scattered survivors remain.

Patrick, Jack, and Lu have survived by staying hidden from the infected, relying on their wits, limited resources, and the walls of their cabin to keep safe. Despite their isolated survival, tensions between the two men begin to build. Patrick, once a soldier, is fiercely protective and prepared for any threat, while Jack, who has taken on the role of a father to Lu, longs for a more peaceful existence and struggles with Patrick’s increasingly paranoid behavior.

Their fragile peace is shattered when a new breed of infected emerges—faster, stronger, and more intelligent than the previous ones. The new threat forces the three survivors to leave their safe haven and venture into a world now overrun with these deadly beings. As the dangers outside grow, Patrick and Jack must reconcile their differences, put their trust in each other, and fight not only to protect Lu but to ensure their own survival in a world teetering on the brink of extinction.

The film explores themes of survival, sacrifice, and the strain that extreme circumstances place on human relationships. It combines suspenseful horror with emotional character dynamics, giving a fresh take on the zombie genre by focusing on the emotional survival of the characters rather than just the horror of the infected.

Extinction delivers a tense and gripping narrative, blending thrilling action with moments of introspection, as it delves into the cost of survival and the consequences of living in a world that no longer feels human.
