Starring Matthew Fox, Jeffrey Donovan, and Quinn McColgan

Extinction is a gripping post-apocalyptic horror thriller that delves deep into the fragile threads of survival, the weight of past wounds, and the unbreakable bonds of love and family in a world frozen by catastrophe. Directed by Miguel Ángel Vivas, the film masterfully blends chilling suspense with emotional complexity in a story where the real monsters may not be the ones lurking outside.

Years after a mysterious viral outbreak has wiped out most of humanity, the few survivors live in isolated pockets, hiding from the infected predators that still stalk the earth. Among them are Patrick (Matthew Fox) and Jack (Jeffrey Donovan), two men bound by history but divided by pain. Living in near silence in a snow-covered ghost town, they raise Lu (Quinn McColgan), Jack’s young daughter, doing everything they can to preserve a shred of normalcy in a world that has forgotten what that means.

Though the infected have vanished from sight, the cold, the trauma, and the tension between the two men never fully thaw. But when the nightmare resurfaces—mutated, smarter, and deadlier than before—they must set aside their differences and confront not just the horror beyond their walls, but the demons within.

Themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the raw instinct to protect the ones we love pulse through every frame. The bleak, icy landscape becomes more than a backdrop—it’s a mirror to the characters’ emotional isolation and a constant reminder of how close they are to losing everything.
