5	Six teenagers have gone to spend a weekend on a camping trip out in the woods. They expect it to be a fun time of bonding, seeing the beauty of nature, and fun. Unfortunately, fate has different plans in mind.

7	One night, one of the students is attacked by some kind of creature, and got a nasty wound from it. The kids decide to pack up and seek help for her, and soon come across a house out in the forest that's inhabited by a man known as Talbot. He lets them stay, and reveals he knows about the creature. It apparently carries some kind of "[[TitleDrop feral]] [[TheVirus disease]]" that lays dormant in its host until nightfall, whereupon it turns whoever is infected into a bloodthirsty savage creature.

14	!!''Feral'' contains examples of:
15	* ChainedToABed: One of the campers ends up this way so they won't attack the others when TheVirus makes them turn.
16	* CreepyBasement: The basement of Talbot's home contains chemicals and a bed with chains on it. [[spoiler:This is where he was keeping his infected son while he tried to develop a cure.]]
17	* DarknessEqualsDeath: The monstrous, zombie-like Ferals are only active at nightfall.
18	* DontGoInTheWoods: If you do, you'll be attacked by a vicious [[spoiler:human being]].
19	* DwindlingParty: Par for the course for a horror movie, the campers start dying over the course of the film.
20	* GuttedLikeAFish: Jesse gets his entrails exposed by the creature, who pulls out and eats a handful of them.
21	* NotUsingTheZWord: Although they fit the common traits (mindless, ravenous former humans with a drive to bite the living, infecting them with the same condition), the infected are only called "ferals" instead (hence the title), never zombies.
22	* OneWordTitle: Well, the movie [=IS=] called "Feral".
23	* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The Ferals are created by a rabies-like virus which attacks the neurological system, killing the host and gradually transforming them into monstrous nocturnal predators that are fast, [[ItCanThink cunning]] and can only be killed with brain trauma.
24	* TheVirus: According to Talbot, the virus lies dormant in its host's system until nightfall, when it wakes up, and turns is host into a savage being.
