Die Alone

In the end, it is revealed that Ethan, the main character, is actually a zombie who has been feeding on humans to maintain his human appearance. His girlfriend Emma, who was with him from the start, is also a zombie and is secretly Mae, the woman who rescued him early on. Throughout the film, Ethan struggles with his memories and the confusion about what is real, which is part of the horror of his situation. When the truth finally comes out, Ethan is devastated to learn that he has been dead much longer than he thought and that his entire life has been sustained by feeding on humans, whom Emma/Mae has also been feeding on for years.

The climax of the movie sees Ethan confronting his horrifying reality. After discovering Mae’s true identity, Ethan is overwhelmed and refuses to accept the monstrosity he has become. In a tragic culmination, he takes a gun and shoots himself, choosing to end his suffering rather than live as a mindless predator. However, because he has been undead for so long, he cannot truly die; he is destined to remain trapped in this limbo forever. Mae, exhausted by their endless struggle, asks Ethan to kill her, knowing she cannot continue to bear the weight of their dark existence.

In the final moments, Emma—who is actually Mae—begs Ethan to end her life, offering him a final act of mercy. Ethan, in utter despair and heartbreak, complies but, because he is already dead, remains in an eternal, zombie-like state. This tragic ending emphasizes the horror of their lives—caught between humanity and monstrosity—with neither of them able to escape their cursed fates. Ethan’s story becomes a haunting tale of love, loss, and the terrible cost of survival in a world overrun by zombies.
