After spending eight years in prison without any incidents, Emon, a former elite soldier portrayed by Brandon Vera—known for being the ONE Heavyweight Champion and the 2005 WEC Heavyweight Grand Prix Champion—finally regains his freedom. Emon’s main objective is to reconnect with his estranged wife, Sheryl (played by Mary Jean Lastimosa), and their young daughter, Jane (Freya Fury Montierro). However, upon his release, he quickly realizes that the world he once knew has been dramatically altered by a terrifying virus that has turned much of the population into ruthless, flesh-eating zombies.

As Emon navigates this new and perilous environment, he is relentlessly pursued by swarms of the undead. The urban landscape is fraught with danger, and Emon must utilize his extensive military training and combat skills to survive. His journey is fueled by an overwhelming determination to rescue his family and bring them to safety.

The film masterfully showcases Vera’s abilities and charisma, suggesting a bright future for him in the action movie genre. Directed by Joey De Guzman and skillfully written by Ays De Guzman, Day Zero is a gripping and intense thrill ride from beginning to end. The climax of the film builds to an epic confrontation within a crumbling apartment complex in the Philippines, where Emon faces off against a nearly overwhelming horde of undead. With each encounter, he fights valiantly, showcasing his strength and resilience as he strives to protect his loved ones.

Day Zero offers an adrenaline-pumping experience filled with heart-pounding action and suspense. It’s a must-watch for fans of the zombie genre, combining elements of survival, family and the human spirit’s enduring will to protect those we love.
