Rampant (2018)

RAMPANT DESERVES BETTER

When I said Rampant deserves better, I do mean it. I don't get it why this movie is so underrated, nevertheless the cast and the whole story is crazy worth to watch. Well the story is typical zombie plot that we all know, but still impressively well executed. There are many zombie movies that turn into nothing due to lack of details. As in the depth of the story that leads to nonsense ending. It happened alot. But Rampant is well written and got the casts we should not doubting about, leading by Hyun Bin and his marvelous acting skill. We could see this bright, witty, yet reliable character in him that's always been well wrapped because it's Hyun Bin we're talking about, ladies and gentlemen. He's giving his all into this movie. He's slaying till the very end and when you finally see that, you know how highly dedicated he's to this. We just watch it but still getting the goosebumps and feel as exhausted as the casts trying their best to survive. That's the main attracting point of zombie movies, isn't it. This movie is intense you won't get tired of it. It's such an enjoyable zombie movies without a bunch of dumbass role and dumbass decision that could lead the story into a mess. It does give us heartbreaking moments, while remind us about the loyalty and heroic values that generally heartwarming for many in such a movie. You should give it a try. And please kindly to watch the first 15 mins carefully, in case you don't want to miss anything because it's kinda complicated at first but still worth to watch.

Could have been better

I read a lot of reviews saying this is similar to Kingdom but to be honest this is nowhere near it. The story was sloppy with no consistency.

It starts with Crown Prince killing himself which was so not needed. The king being this stupid person who gets manipulated easily. Hyun Bin enters the scene to protect Crown Princes' pregnant wife and then all the zombie drama starts.

Everyone starts turning into zombie and few villagers along with Hyun Bin are trying to save the country. Amist all this Crown Prince wife wanted to stay there for some morale which was super frustrating and then suddenly everyone's motto was, "To save Crown Prince Wife" (Eye roll). The same plot used again for zombie theme, nothing new to offer.

All the actors did a fabulous job but I feel this one didn't use their talents well.

Ost was nothing special and definitely not a rewatch material.
