Plot Summary

In a post-apocalyptic world, Malorie Hayes informs two young children that they are going down the river in a rowboat. She sternly instructs them not to remove their blindfolds, or they will die. The film then cuts between the events of the start of the pandemic and the events of present. Five years earlier, a pregnant Malorie was visited by her sister, Jessica. A news broadcast reported unexplained mass suicides spreading across Europe and Asia. After a prenatal checkup, Malorie witnesses a woman smashing her head repeatedly into the hospital window. Others start acting suicidal, as well, causing panic and chaos. Malorie and Jessica leave hurriedly.

Driving away from the hospital, Jessica sees something inexplicable, which drives her insane, so she deliberately crashes the car. She then intentionally walks in front of a speeding truck. As Malorie flees on foot, a woman offers her shelter. The woman then sees the entity, goes into a trance, and sits inside a burning car. Passing by, Tom picks up Malorie from the street into the house, where six others – Douglas, Greg, Cheryl, Felix, Charlie, and Lucy – are taking shelter. Charlie says that humanity has been judged, so the appearance of demonic entities is a sign of the end times.

He mentions those spiritual beings have different names in various cultures, such as Aka Manah, Surgat, Huli Jing, and Púca. They cover all of the house’s windows and blindfold themselves whenever going out. As new pregnant survivor Olympia arrives, Greg kills himself after testing to see if observing the entities indirectly through surveillance cameras is safe. Half of the group goes to the grocery store Charlie worked at for supplies. They drive there in a car with covered windows using GPS navigation system. Malorie gets three live birds with their supplies, as the entities’ presence agitates them.
