Really fun

Rating: 8/10 (25 December 2016)

I love Korean horror movies. Right when the action and horror is at its peak they insert this home like humor that makes you feel for the characters and understand that while the plot might be ridiculous, so is real life.
This is not a comedy, like Gowemul, which I really liked, but has some of these moments that make it fun. The scene when the guy apologetically tells his pregnant wife "Honey, can you run?" while a horde of zombies approach was priceless.
So, yeah, it's a zombie movie. And while it feels fresh, it's nothing you haven't seen before. It's Korean, so it has some specific idiosyncrasies and some of the jokes or social issues it hints at might pass over your head, but it's not that deep.
I liked the actors, the kid was really good. The special effects were OK most of the time, but there was one "explosion of zombies" effect they used twice without it being needed and it looked kind of stupid. I liked the scene where the "villain" kind of explains how he feels and why he did the horrible and stupid things he did. It is important to care about your characters, including the bad guys and the sacrificial lambs. Americans might want to learn from that.
Bottom line: I had a lot of fun watching it. Even my wife was hooked by the end and wanted to watch the ending. Keep fresh horror coming, Korea!
