Don't dismiss this movie as another foreign flop

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2016)

I'm not a fan of movies coming out of Asia, they are usually awful: badly acted; poorly shot; terrible script; etc.. But I was drawn by the stars being quite generous and thought I'd give it the usual five minutes chance and I'm glad I did. It was very different in style and feel from the get-go - not your usual grainy, poorly edited rubbish. The movie kept me gripped from start to finish and I hate Zombie movies! Here's the other amazing thing... I had no subtitles and yet I watched it in full! It takes some movie to do that. Yes the plot-line wasn't exactly challenging, but even so. It just had me hooked. The acting was excellent, particularly, the minuscule actress, Kim Su-An, who steals the entire movie, particularly the last few minutes - an award-winning performance. Yes, the ending is a little overly emotional, but I guess that's how it is with some foreign movies. People who are saying detrimental things about this movie are simply not remembering movies like: World War Z (the plot line of which is so fantastical it beggars belief). The simple fact is that this is the best zombie movie I've ever seen. It's well worth seeing (with subtitles). I only have two foreign (non-Western) movies in my collection: Enter the Dragon and this one! If you like gore; horror and zombie movies - you won't be disappointed.
