Extinction (2015) is a gripping post-apocalyptic horror-thriller that explores survival, humanity, and the enduring bonds of love and family amidst a frozen wasteland. Directed by Miguel Ángel Vivas, the film combines chilling suspense with emotional depth in a story of resilience against monstrous odds.

The movie follows Patrick (Matthew Fox) and Jack (Jeffrey Donovan), two men who have become bitterly estranged after a devastating viral outbreak wipes out much of humanity. Living in isolation with Jack’s young daughter, Lu (Quinn McColgan), in a snow-covered, desolate town, they struggle to maintain a semblance of normal life while avoiding the infected creatures that roam the world.

As the years pass, the infected seem to have disappeared, but the icy environment and their fragile coexistence keep tensions high. However, their fragile peace is shattered when the infected resurface—evolved and more dangerous than ever. Forced to confront their fears and differences, Patrick and Jack must band together to protect Lu from the terrifying creatures and the harsh reality of their new world.

The film delves into themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the lengths people will go to protect those they love. The icy landscape serves as both a physical and emotional barrier, reflecting the characters’ internal struggles and their fight to survive in an unforgiving world.
