Your reading of the sentence assumed 2 mistakes when there were none to begin with. That’s not even mentioning the fact that the adjective “gripping” would have been misused.

There was nothing wrong with the sentence structure given the context. If the virus was in "the film," it would have been improper to refer to it as "this film" because the supposed film was never mentioned in the article until that point. It was a reach at best.

"nearly everyone else has been turned into a de facto zombie by a virus in this gripping film" How did the virus get into the film? Did Kodak put it there? Should we call the CDC? Move the participle: "nearly everyone else in this gripping film has been turned into a de facto zombie by a virus" or "In this gripping film, a small handful of survivors find themselves alone in a world in which nearly everyone else has been turned into a de facto zombie." Dangling…. “nearly everyone else has been turned into a de facto zombie by a virus in this gripping film”

Move the participle: “nearly everyone else in this gripping film has been turned into a de facto zombie by a virus” or “In this gripping film, a small handful of survivors find themselves alone in a world in which nearly everyone else has been turned into a de facto zombie.”
