I ZOMBIE, The Chronicles of Pain
Synopsis
Repulsed by his own violent behaviour, he takes a series of victims, eats them, and disposes of their remains as best he can. As his illness progresses he becomes weaker and more disorientated.
His girlfriend Sarah is shattered by his vanishing, but slowly rebuilds her life with the support of friends.
Mark is obsessed with Sarah and determined to see her again. He anaesthetises and kidnaps her, taking her back to his new flat. He starts to hallucinate and aware of his own volatile condition, returns her safely to live her new life.
He is getting weaker, and after dragging the body of one of his victims, his leg breaks. Unable to seek medical help he screws a metal plate onto the side of his broken leg.
The boundaries between reality and his increasingly disturbing hallucinations become more blurred. The flesh on his face is starting to ulcerate. He can no longer leave the flat.
While masturbating, his decaying penis falls off in his hand. All that remains is to attempt as dignified a death as possible.
