In this new feature debut from director Cody Calahan, a New Year’s Eve celebration descends into chaos and fear as a mysterious viral outbreak pushes a group of friends to their limits in this fresh take on a technology driven apocalyptic story. Five university friends gather at a house party to ring in the New Year. Unbeknownst to them, an epidemic has erupted outside, causing outbreaks around the world. With nowhere else to turn, they barricade themselves indoors with only their phones, laptops, and other tech devices, which they use to try to uncover the possible cause.
Information and video footage overflow their computers as they descend further into the cause and the ensuing chaos. As the virus spreads, the mood in the house changes from fear to paranoia. Who is safe? Who can they trust? Reality becomes blurred as they slowly discover the source of the virus causing the sickness…and there is no going back.
Antisocial celebrated its World Premiere at the 2013 Fantasia Film Festival and screened at Sitges, Vancouver International Film Festival and La Samain du Cinéma Fantastique, where it received the best screenplay audience award for writers Cody Calahan and Chad Archibald.
