#Alive

I liked it. Fresh take on the genre, liked the characters and the way they reacted to the situation. I know it’s nothing original or who knows what masterpiece, but I truly enjoyed it.

This has to be one of my favourite zombie movies so far. Worth a watch.

I love love love the zombies! amazing movie. wish they would do a TV series of these zombies! will watch again. must watch.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘:pound_symbol:Alive’:

1. I thought it was great! It’s not an easy feat to create something fresh in this tired genre — and they succeeded here. Well paced. Well acted. A perfect blend of humor and horror. Thrilling from start to finish.

2. Faster zombies are always scarier zombies.

3. Another highlight for me was the music. Loved the song choices throughout the film.

Bonus Thought: Watching something like this always inspires me to be stocked up on bottled water and canned goods.

#SARAITDA AKA #ALIVE (2020) REVIEW
.

📜 Plot: The rapid spread of an unknown infection has left an entire city in ungovernable chaos, but one survivor remains alive in isolation and how he survives
.

👨‍⚖ Review : #Alive" pictures the familiar fast-moving undead masses and zombie-creating virus infections portrayed in famous Korean zombie thriller like "Train to Busan" (2016) in past. Korean movies have a distinctive touch when it comes to zombie flicks. Here zombies are more fast and agressive compaired to the stereotypes of slow zombies of America. #Alive is a survival horror flick where a Gamer Oh Joon-Woo (Ah-In Yoo) wakes ups late in the morning and the city is chaos.

Ah-In Yoo's anxiousness of missing his family, the fear of the unusual environment , The way he tries to save food while he still wants to eat it, the frustration of him being alone in the apartment portrayed brilliantly. Director II Cho has added an engaging screenplay which gives you a rivetting watching experience similar to the levels of Train to Busan.

Won't talk much about the second Half to avoid spoilers, but overall #Alive may not be the best zombie flick but it surely has a unique premise and a fresh take on the zombie survival genre. Kudos to the editing team to keep it short and tight with 98 minutes.

👍Goods :
1. Ah-In Yoo is brilliant.
2. The Fresh and Unique Premise of a survivor stuck in Apartment.
.
.
👎 Bads :
1. But its story lacks plausibility as it does not give details on the zombie outbreak and lead characters daring escapism skills seems unrealistic at times.
.
.
🔥 Final Rating : 7.5/10
.
.
✅ Verdict : #Alive is intriguing and unusual and is worth your time. Commercially it was a success with limited screens in June when it released in South Korea. Give it a watch.

For those who are not aware, the Korean movie "#ALIVE" is based on the 2019 script by Matt Naylor. This same 2019 script was also made into an American movie entitled "Alone".

Going into zombie movies with little to no expectations always results in more enjoyment from the viewing. The acting was good (imo), the characters were believable and likeable, and I actually wanted them to survive, which isn't always the case with some movies main characters. The ending could have dropped like three different parts that felt unneeded, but still not bad enough to warrant a score drop. A solid 7/10 if you like zombie movies.

Asians make some decent horrors and this infected film was good and a lot of entertaining action.

Sure, its another zombie movie, but with its mix of action and soulful concepts, this stands out from the infected masses.
