2016, South Korea, directed by Yeon Sang-ho
Korean genre fare,
occasionally quite inventive and witty, though ultimately not as distinctive as
I had hoped even if it's a decent addition to the voluminous recent series of zombie entries. Still, it makes intelligent use of its effects budget in
combination with some decent storytelling skills. Based purely on the content of the film, my sense is that Korean audiences might be more
comfortable with syrupy tones, which seemed more amusing to a Western audience
in the dramatic/action context – watching it with a US cinema audience the slightly nervous laughter tended to break up
the overall effect.
