This movie had a high level of intensity, but was certainly more emotional than I expected. I'm looking forward to your comments! Enjoy the reaction and thanks for watching. 🥰

I am not good with remembering names so I will call the main character MC and physically describe the rest. MC's arc is so well done. Having him closing the door on Blue shirt Dad and his wife in the beginning set him up as such a selfish person but in the end he changed for the better to protect his daughter. When I think about what a real man should be I think about the Blue shirt Dad. He is not perfect. He is not rich. He is not necessarily nice but resourceful,strong, courageous, and not self-serving. When the time came he helps his fellow men or woman to survive no matter who they are. He had no reason to help MC or his daughter especially after he didn't get help from him but he chose to do it anyway. MC learned from him and became a better man before he died. His last enemy the CEO guy is basically a future version of himself if he didn't change the path he was on. You are right that there is definitely a underlying theme about how rich treat others as disposable in order to survive. They are the first to lose their humanity in these situations. If you want more zombie genres like this there is a Korean short series called All of US are dead that is similar. Only 12 episodes.

The best zombie movie since Zombieland (2009). Thanks for the reaction. Tough. The movie never lets up. Soo-an was played by a good kid actor. I like the father's arc. Too bad he became infected in the end. The actor playing the father was good having subtle but communicative facial expressions (sometimes not so subtle). I was with you in hating the evil guy who sacrificed others.

This movie was cuh-ray-ZEEEE!!! That scene where all the firetruck cross them at the intersection gave me strong Last of Us S1E1 vibes, specifically the part where Sarah is getting Joel's watch fixed and the emergency vehicles sudden parade behind her in the street. I couldn't believe that POS guy 1. lasted as long as he did and 2. BIT SEOK-WOO'S FUCKING HAND!!! I. Was. Not. Okay. But Sang-hwa had such a cool story; he was such a beast going full UFC on those zombies. His final stand though, man, he went down with honor. Also, bravo to Kim Su-an as Soo-ahn. That end scene was some of best acting in the whole movie.

So was the deer at the beginning related to the deer from Evil Dead II that was mounted on the wall? Perhaps a descendant?

This movie reminded me a lot of this Taiwanese horror movie I saw last year called The Sadness. The premise is pretty much the same (characters going from Point A to B, outbreak) but the side effects of being infected are the most extreme and disturbing acts you can think of, and even then, probably not even close. Definitely would not recommend, reaction or otherwise. Unfortunately, I thought it focused too much on the gore and not enough on the story and characters, so i got desensitized to it pretty quickly. Luckily, I was watching it with a friend (it was his turn for a movie choice), so talking during the movie was certainly encouraged. 😄

You may be surprised, but you've seen a couple of these actors before. Ma Dong-seok, who played the burly soon-to-be father leveraged the love for his performance here into a role in the main group in the unfortunately forgettable MCU entry Eternals. Choi Woo-shik, the young man who played the longest-surviving member of the baseball team, was the son in Parasite. The original Dawn of the Dead is part of George A. Romero's zombie series, the one generally considered to be the birth of what we think of as a movie zombie, and it is not a comedy. The series is mostly known for the original trilogy, Night of the Living Dead (1968), Dawn of the Dead (1978), and Day of the Dead (1985). Years later, after the success of Zack Snyder's remake Dawn of the Dead (2004), Romero returned to the series and made the reasonably well-liked Land of the Dead (2005), and the not-so-well-received Diary of the Dead (2007) and Survival of the Dead (2009). Romero passed away in 2017. Night of the Living Dead is also semi-famous for being one of the most notable movies in the public domain. It happened because the filmmakers forgot to print the copyright symbol on the print underneath the title. In 1990, Tom Savini, a notable horror effects and makeup guy and friend to Romero, remade Night of the Living Dead in the hopes of allowing Romero and the other key producers to make some money off of the name again. (The NotLD remake and DotD remake are not related, nor are either related to the widely-disliked Day of the Dead remake.) The two most notable zombie comedies are probably The Return of the Living Dead (1985), and as you mentioned, Shaun of the Dead (2004). There is a sequel to this film, Train to Busan: Peninsula (2020), but it doesn't seem to have been well-received. A couple of weeks ago, the first look at director Yeon Sang-ho's new horror-thriller, Colony, was revealed; perhaps that will be better. Also, my interpretation has always been that he asked his assistant the exact same question before ("what are kids into these days?"), received the same answer, and bought the same thing.

Oh my gosh GILGAMESH! It's funny, I thought his face kind of looked familiar but there was no way I would have known where I'd seen him before.

I think for me it comes down to this one and World War Z as best zombie movie ever. Absolute banger of a flick!
