When you see someone undergoing bone contortions, nosebleed, and delirium, run.
All Of Us Are Dead is a show about a group of high school students trying to escape a zombie outbreak in their high school, which is ground zero, with the infection going beyond campus grounds that originated from a hospital. Do the math.
General
- The Jonas virus itself. If this agent gets into your bloodstream, You Are Already Dead. The symptoms include nosebleeds, discolored veins, bloodshot eyes, and delirium. Then, when the virus enters the nervous system, your body heavily contorts and distorts the bones, creating loud crunching sounds. Then when the virus fully turns you into a rabid monster, you've become nothing more than a host to spread the virus further.
- It gets much worse when the virus mutates to the point where newly infected can not only regain some form of humanity, but still have the ability to transfer it.
- Why the virus was created to begin with. Unlike many movies or shows where the virus comes from military as a biological weapon (i.e. The Crazies (2010)), a cure for a disease gone wrong (i.e. I Am Legend), a mad cow-like disease (I.e. Zombieland), or for unexplained reasons (i.e. Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead), this one was supposed to be a performance enhancer developed by the school's biology teacher to protect his son from bullies’ attacks, since it’s made perfectly clear that not the school system nor the police would do anything to intervene. Unfortunately, it proves to be too successful, as whoever is turned into a zombie attacks whoever sees as a threat (a.k.a. all healthy humans). He even stated he would rather have a monster alive unleashed on Earth than have his human son dead. It's Papa Wolf at horrifying levels.
- Yoon Gwi-nam, full stop. The character himself is pure, walking nightmare fuel. He's part of a group of bullies that toe the line of morality, and it can be argued that he and his group are the reasons behind the creation of the virus. He certainly loses his mind when the outbreak begins, becoming a Complete Monster, then when he's swarmed by the infected, he becomes much, much, much, worse.
Episode 1
- Jin-su's bullying. It's the first scene viewers will see, and its ruthlessness will send a shiver down your spine. Even when he fights back against his bullies, you can tell something is definitely wrong. Then his father, Mr. Lee, visits him at the hospital, and Jin-su looks worse than before. Then it hits you. He is patient zero for the series' virus.
- Hyeon-ju's situation. She investigates a seemingly innocent enough mouse rattling in a box, only to poke her finger in it and gets bitten as a result. When Mr. Lee finds out about this, he kidnaps her and keeps her in a room where no one will find her. He then injects her with a plethora of drugs to slow the infection, but all it is doing is prolonging the inevitable.
- The decision to send Hyeon-ju to the hospital. It's the Dramatic Irony that makes it scary. We know that Hyeon-ju is turning, but the characters don't know it's a zombie virus. And by the time she gets to the hospital, shit will hit the fan in a widespread display, to the point that a city-wide outbreak is inevitable.
- Seeing the flashback of the nurse getting bitten. The virus never left school grounds in the first place. Then when some students catch her swaying back and forth, they think she's drunk out of her mind, joking about it. Then she turns and bites one of them. The outbreak has truly begun.
Episode 2
Gwi-nam starts his descent into madness, pushing a girl hiding with in the cafeteria to the zombies even after she stopped making noise.Episode 3
- Lee Na-yeon deliberately infecting Han Gyeong-su with a tainted handkerchief. Even after there's proof that he is not infected from the scratch, she still infects him, just to not say sorry to the friends for being wrong. It's the point where she went from being a snobbish Alpha Bitch to crossing the Moral Event Horizon.
- The very notion of being infected by a zombie bite - whilst also having your newborn baby with you, knowing what will happen to them if you don’t do something very quickly before you turn.
- The poor couple who are trapped in an overturned car and can do nothing but reach out and hold hands before a swarm of zombies reaches them.
- Gwi-nam throws another bully and the lunch lady who trying to help him to the zombies, getting worse and worse.
Episode 4
- Gwi-nam killing the principal in cold-blood. His first direct murder. Then he chases down Cheong-san to try and kill and seemingly stabs him in the back with the knife as the episode ends.
Episode 5
- Gwi-nam throws a random kid in the library to the zombies simply for being in the way. Then he gets his eye brutally gouged by Cheong-san and thrown to the zombies. Even Cheong-san is horrified watching it.
- Then it turns out Gwi-nam is now a hybrid and out for revenge against Cheong-san at all costs.
Episode 6
- Na-yeon's situation in the episode. She's trapped in the music room storage, and when she tries to exit, she cannot, at the risk of facing the others' wrath. Even when they talk about getting drinks to survive, she tries to inform them of the drinks, but when one tries to bust down the door, she resorts to hiding in a corner, and holds her breath. While the door doesn't get busted down, the look on her face is evident of fear.
