The premise

A man witnesses a fatal traffic accident on his way home from work, and the victim is clearly killed on impact. A moment later, when the corpse stands up and walks away, it could be a hallucination or something far more extraordinary.

Horror Vault's take

When a struggling manga artist witnesses something impossible on an ordinary commute home, the boundary between reality and nightmare dissolves around him. What follows is a desperate, escalating fight for survival as Japan is overtaken by a terrifying epidemic that transforms the living into something monstrous. Based on a celebrated manga series, this Japanese entry into the zombie genre brings brutality, dark humor, and genuine emotional stakes to a crowded field. Unlikely heroes are forged — or broken — when the world they know is stripped away overnight.
