Good zombie movie, Bad soap opera

Rating: 6/10 (13 September 2016)

The zombie bits were good but unfortunately the bits in between and at the start were some pretty average family drama cliché. Daddy works too hard and the daughter resents it, school performance he didn't make it to, the Korean relationship dynamic cliché (I really hope this isn't normal in real life Korea but it appears in every relationship in their movies), nagging wife, dumb (huh?) beaten down husband. The self centered baddie is a pretty easy to loath character, so well done on that, the effects were nice, the zombies looked great, sound was great, cinematography was a bit 'digital camera', but passable. They laid the syrup sentimentality on with a shovel and it really drags the movie down, making a 6 instead of an 8.
