** [[spoiler: After it looks as though Sarah made a miraculous recovery from being shot, Sam spends some time bonding with her. Later, he looks in through his bedroom door and discovers her corpse on his bed, revealing she actually died of her wounds the night before.]]

* HopeSpot: For a moment, it looks as though Sam finally has human company [[spoiler: in the form of Sarah, a young woman who Sam almost killed during the night. They spend some time together discussing their options and bonding, and then it's tragically revealed that Sam was merely hallucinating; "Sarah" actually died on the bed from her gunshot wound, and Sam was only imagining her existence. However, this is the moment he realises he needs to escape the apartment or descend further into madness.]]

The film follows the story of Sam, an amateur musician living in UsefulNotes/{{Paris}}. One evening, he stops by his ex-girlfriend's apartment to pick up some tapes and ends up falling asleep. When he wakes the next morning, he discovers that a ZombieApocalypse has ravaged Paris during the night, and that he is now one of the few survivors left in the city. He barricades himself inside the apartment building while wondering how long he can last in such silence, fighting off the zombies, starvation, and ultimately loneliness.

* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler: Sam hears a noise outside his bedroom during the night and, thinking it to be zombies, shoots through his door. It turns out to be a young woman, who he immediately begins providing first aid to. Although it appears as though she recovered, it's later revealed Sam was imagining this, and she actually died of her wounds.]]

* GunsDoNotWorkThatWay: In reality if Sam were to accidently discharge a shotgun right next to his ear, [[BangBangBang the sound would render him completely deaf in that ear]] assuming it wouldn't burst the other eardrum as well.

* ZombieApocalypse: Seemingly overnight, Paris is overrun by silent, flesh-eating zombies, with Sam being one of the few survivors in the city. Because the film follows his months alone trapped inside an apartment building, its never made clear just how far the zombie outbreak has spread, though the lack of any visible government or military response implies that civilisation may have already collapsed.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: Quite possibly "Sarah". Her camera reveals she had noticed Sam standing on the roof of the apartment building, and had probably decided to introduce herself to him. However, she apparently thought the best time to do this was at night, in the dark and without calling out to him first. Sam, already on edge from a nightmare he had, shoots through the door of his bedroom when he hears something, fatally wounding her as a result.]]

* DueToTheDead: Sam does this twice in the film.

* DeathOfAChild: Sam watches a family with a little girl attempt to make an escape by car. Unfortunately, the zombies catch up to them and swarm into the vehicle to eat them, with the obvious implication that the child is devoured alongside her parents.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Sam discovers that he killed "Sarah", but he realizes he needs to let go, so he sets Alfred free and burns the tapes he came to the apartment for in the first place. The fire triggers the alarm, which sends the zombies berserk and allows them to break in. Sam escapes to the roof of a nearby building thanks to "Sarah"'s equipment, and he looks out at the horizon of rooftops before him, [[AndTheAdventureContinues showing that this is just the beginning of his journey.]]]]

* ApocalypseHow: Quite possibly Class 2. The film follows Sam as he's isolated inside a Paris apartment building during a zombie apocalypse, so the true scope of the outbreak is unknown. However, he spends several months trapped inside the building without ever seeing any signs of a government response or any other human survivors [[spoiler: until he meets Sarah,]] potentially indicating that the world is already overrun and human civilisation has collapsed.

** [[spoiler:He covers "Sarah"'s body and lights candles around her after discovering she died.]]

* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: Sam after failing to adopt a street cat and noticing the thing is perfectly happy around the zombies, decides to shoot it out of bitterness.

** According to [[spoiler: "Sarah"]] there are several other survivors locked up around Paris who have all gone completely nuts for the same reason.
