The two series are thrillers which explore their main characters' psyches. Both shows have protagonists who start to reflect the evil, malignant behavior of the characters surrounding them. They both become increasingly violent and volatile. Additionally, in the past, both main characters have experienced much suffering at the hands of others.
The "villains" / "antagonists" in both shows hold a special interest in/for the protagonist (which they verbally announce), and believe the protagonist to be similar to them in some way or another. The shows both equally focus on the duality between their respective protagonists and antagonists.
Both Strangers from Hell and Evilive have wealth, or the lack thereof, as one of their central themes. In Strangers from Hell, Jong Woo's poverty prevents him from relocating from his current, rather hellish, housing situation. Meanwhile, in Evilive, Dong Soo's lack of money has led him to be trampled over again and again.
Strangers from Hell and Evilive mainly differ in terms of plot, as well as direction. Strangers from Hell is more "artsy," offering stellar cinematography and enough ambiguity & analysis material to leave the viewer guessing even after having completed the show. On the other hand, Evilive is more straightforward. Regardless, the acting in both series is top-notch. Viewers who enjoyed one show will likely appreciated the other.
Side-note, I noticed both series frequently utilize red lighting in order to symbolize evil, or a shift towards evil.

Both shows explore the minds and actions of people. Exploring the question of what is truly good and bad and what humanity is out of these two are very deep in both shows. I think an important factor in both shows is the initial desperation for money, which in that point in time equates to survival.
The filming and vibes of both shows make it hard for the audience to tell if a scene actually happened or if it was simply a hallucination/imaginary.
I don't want to spoil the show so I can't say much more but if you like one of these you will like the other.

Both titles share an uncanny portrayal of people who innately feel off. Strangers From Hell immediately came screeching to my mind while watching Friendly Police.
The major difference between the two is that Strangers From Hell has a male protagonist while Friendly Police’s is female. The way events occur in the two are different; with a focus on what happens AROUND Jong Woo in Strangers from Hell versus what happens TO Ah Rin in Friendly Police.

Totally different plots at a surface level. Strangers From Hell is by far more sinister while All of Us Are Dead is upfront with its brutality. However, if you enjoy stories that dismantle humanity, you may well enjoy both titles.
Another contrast is that, while both focus on humanity, Strangers From Hell picks normal people apart piece by piece, whereas All of Us Are Dead uses a catastrophe to bring out the absolute best - and worst - of its characters. As far as viewer experience goes, Strangers From Hell twists you along with it, whereas All of Us Are Dead makes you a witness, but you probably won’t lose yourself in quite the same way.

Same creepy vibe throughout. ML keeps insisting something weird is going on, but people keep dismissing his worries. In both shows the ML is agressive but stubborn in his pursuit.
While SFH has a active FL who is involved in unraveling the mystery, SM2 has a more passive FL.
Both shows involve a cult who takes advantage of people and murders them.
