** ''Death is a Gift'': Shown from the perspective of a sole survivor in Hong Kong. Not only do they end up [[DrivenToSuicide committing suicide]] [[DespairEventHorizon either out of despair]], [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled not wanting to be hunted down by the dark seekers]], or both, but a suicide note the deceased carried on them [[CruelTwistEnding reveals they were one of the few humans Immune to the Krippin virus]].
** ''Shelter'': Written from the perspective of a teenage Indian girl, Vatsala who disobeys her father's wishes to stow away in a shelter, and sneaks out to the infected streets of New Delhi to see her boyfriend Pritam one more time. [[spoiler: Vatsala's family ends up locking her out of the shelter, out of fear of being infected. Vatsala succumbs to the Krippin Virus, which in turn mutates her into a dark seeker. [[DownerEnding She reunites with her boyfriend, who also mutated in to a dark seeker, and they both murder and consume the rest of the girl's family]].]]
** ''Isolation'': Written form the Perspective of an infamous Super Max inmate left to die alone in prison. [[spoiler: He escapes, only to be hunted down and backed to a corner by the dark seekers, the last minutes reveal he was a [[KnightTemplar Moral Extremist]] who engaged in acts of Domestic Terrorism. [[BolivianArmyEnding The last frame is of him preparing his last stand as the dark seekers close in on him]].]] Despite the mans crimes, it would have probably been more humane to just put a bullet in the guys head over just letting him dehydrate and starve to death alone.
*** What's worse is that in the end, [[spoiler: after pumping his shotgun, only one gunshot is heard, hinting that he actually took his own life rather than be mauled to death by the Dark Seekers.]]

* Who didn't tear up during the climax of the film, especially when he tries negotiating with the infected trying to break down his door moments after he finds the cure, desperately hoping to get through to them and prove that the last three years and all his suffering haven't been in vain.
--> '''Neville:''' LET ME SAVE YOU!!!!

** For that matter, the original climax. [[spoiler:While there's ultimately a happy ending for everyone, the male Darkseeker's grief, fury, and sheer, broken ''relief'' are all extremely palpable. Throw in Neville's MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment and it's powerful stuff all around.]]

* A tie-in promotional piece depicts a camera crew's experiences during the evacuation of Manhattan on the night the city was quarantined. Near the end, the reporter begins to visibly break down from the chaos ensuing around her while she tries to maintain her composure and continue to do her job. She eventually collapses into total despair, tearfully lamenting about how the end may have finally come for humanity.
