A throwback to simpler times

Rating: 8/10 (29 January 2018)

This horror/action movie follows a rather typical setting. Confined space and a very personal, limited cast of protagonists. Those are stereotypical .. but not dull. There is character developement .. believable .. as well as sacrifice and heroism.
All is done in a very "natural" .. not forced way. There are manierisms that feel a bit foreign to western culture, i guess .. but nothing that is in the way of understanding the plot. I would guess that an asian viewer might pick up on things a western viewer might not .. but those would only be subtle.
Action is well done with a few CGI effects (regarding the horde) that do look rather odd. Most effects seem to be practical though and the acting is mostly well done (despite the occasional overacting and the obviously overacted "bad guy")
Since it is a very classic zombie story, there are the typical weaknesses of course .. but all in all .. the movie is engaging and very enjoyable to watch .. although not a suspeseful as other horror movies (it was more an action flick in my opinion that just happened to have zombies in it)
