Straight-forward and utterly engaging

Rating: 9/10 (3 October 2016)

I believe this is the first review I've written.
This film looked mundane and not engaging in the trailer I'd seen, but I watched it due to its high score on IMDb. It ended up being the hands-down best zombie movie I've enjoyed, with constant tension, freshness and a satisfying ending.
Sometimes Korean movies of the last few years have an almost innocence or freshness which has all but disappeared from the US/UK productions, where you become truly engrossed in the story-telling and the simplicity of the screenplay works in favor of the movie. This flick is manipulative in all the right ways. It bring to mind The Thing (1982) in telling a straight-forward story that always keeps you on the edge of your seat and has you genuinely care for its characters. Highly recommended.
