Antisocial Page #4

Synopsis: Five university friends gather at a house party to ring in the New Year. Unbeknownst to them, an epidemic has erupted outside, causing outbreaks around the world. With nowhere else to turn, they barricade themselves indoors with only their phones, laptops, and other tech devices. They use their devices to research the possible cause of this outbreak. Information and video footage over flow their computers as they descend further into the cause and the ensuing chaos. As the virus spreads, the mood in the house changes from fear to paranoia. Who is safe? Who can they trust? Reality becomes blurred as they slowly discover the source of the virus causing the sickness...and there is no going back.

It was impossible for us to

track the billions of users,

so we...

we created a program

to do it for us.

We're supposed to believe this?

Keep watching.

This is the reason

why you feel the need

to add more photos,

to update statuses,

to, uh, um... browse more often.

And the update that

we released this morning...

Well, that is highly

more addictive.

The occasional nosebleed

was the only symptom, but...

they kept the real

side effects a secret.

Oh, god...

hallucinations, and depression,

and violence, you know?

All kept a secret.

After hearing about the

side effects, I, uh...

I tried to shut it down.

But it, uh...

It went into some

sort of survival mode.

Like a biological virus.

It mutated, it started

to change people.

The virus is moving through

those its infected.

It's trying to

eliminate the threat -

which is us.

If you are experiencing

nosebleeds or hallucinations...

There's no hope for you.

But I have posted a link

for those that aren't

experiencing that, okay?

It's risky,

but it might work for you.

I am so sorry.

Jed, this can't be true.

Think about it.

How else could a virus

spread worldwide in a day?

A f***ing day!

Billions of people sick

on all different

continents in one night!

I was all right there, Sam!

You need to get away

from him, all right?

Just come over here.

You...

I'm sorry, Mark.

Come here, Sam.

I was on it.

What?

No, you deleted it,

you told us that you deleted it.

Jed, I was just on it upstairs.

Please, Sam!

F***.

You're saying that

'cause of him, right?

You don't need to

protect him, all right?

Just come over...

Come over here.

I don't want to be alone.

Please!

Please?

There's a cure.

There might be,

there might be a cure.

There might be, there's a link.

- What?

- What are you talking about?

Well, what is it?

Get the f*** back!

- The drill's downstairs.

- What are you talking about?

I will show you!

Okay.

Okay...

Brian?

Brian!

Dude, where are you?

Brian...

I watched it.

I watched the links,

you were right, dude.

What's going on?

Residence is overrun.

You all right?

Just come over here, man.

I'm trapped on the roof.

Well, is there a fire escape?

Just look for a fire

escape, man, all right?

Don't come any closer!

- I gotta sign off.

- No! You don't!

You gotta wait it out!

No, Jed.

That's it, man,

you just gotta wait it out.

They're dying off, I promise you!

I know.

There's no more time.

Sorry to be a downer

on your party, man.

I don't think I'm gonna make it.

Yeah, well...

The party kind of sucked anyway.

I gotta go.

Brian?

Brian!

He can't hear me.

He can't hear me.

Brian!

Please!

Brian, please, please!

Brian, no, no!

No!

Jed!

Jed, don't!

I'm sorry...

Jed!

Hold the door!

F***!

Where's the link?

What you are about to see

is a procedure that we feel

might be the cure for

what they are calling

the 'Redroom Virus'.

This virus attacks the

amygdala area of the brain,

which stimulates an

over-production of cells

which creates a new kind of brain

in the form of a tumor.

This is to accommodate

the overwhelming number

of new signals the

brain is receiving

from others infected by the

Social Redroom dot com.

It is this increase in brain mass

that is causing these hallucinations.

From our limited research,

if you are already

experiencing hallucinations,

this surgery will not help you.

It means that the tumor

is already too deeply entrenched.

Before you begin,

make sure that your patient is

immobilized, secured to a

chair or a table with a rope.

Or a belt will suffice.

First, make an incision

at the pre-frontal cortex,

either here or here.

Once you have exposed the skull,

you'll need to drill a small hole

large enough for a hobby knife.

And be careful not to drill too deep.

This is the most important part:

Once the hole is drilled,

a black artery will appear.

This is the artery

that feeds the tumor,

and accelerates the growth.

This increase in brain mass

is the eventual cause

of the skull bursting.

Even after death, the

tumor continues to grow.

We don't know why or how.

This is what you've removed.

That's in our heads?

Is this possible?

What?

No.

It's brain surgery with

a household drill, no.

You heard what he said.

We'll die anyway.

We can't do this.

We have to.

I'm not drilling a hole

in your head, Sam!

That's insane!

Mark, we can do this.

I'm sorry, Sam.

I can't.

I'm sick.

Please don't...

Please don't make me do this.

Okay, then I'll do you first.

If the video's right,

then it's too late for me.

Look at me.

We're not gonna die down here!

What if it doesn't work?

It has to.

We don't have much time.

We have to do this.

Hey...

If something goes wrong...

it's okay.

There's no other way.

What you are about to see

is a procedure that we

feel might be the cure

for what they are calling

the 'Redroom Virus'...

Bite into this.

Which stimulates the

overproduction of cells,

which creates a new kind of brain

in the form of a tumor.

This is to accommodate

the overwhelming number of

new signals the brain is

receiving from others

infected by the Social

Redroom dot com...

She's going to die, Mark.

Why are you fighting us?

What?

Okay, are you ready?

Mark...

You can feel it, Mark.

Chad?

How we're all connected now.

Everyone knows

everything about you.

And you know everything

about everyone else.

If you listen to us...

we can save you.

Your pain...

will be our pain.

You're not really here.

If you operate on

her, she will die.

No.

Mark, focus on me.

Ah...

Mark!

Mark!

Please don't leave me.

Not you.

I can't do it.

Get... get out.

Mark...

Mark, I can't do this alone.

You're not alone.

I love you.

I love you too, Sam.

Mark...

Mark!

Law enforcement officials...

infected seem to

be coming back...

has shut down networking sites...

will continue to keep

you informed by radio

as long as it's safe...

The brain hemorrhage did

not kill all the infected...

telepathic bond between the dead.
