Tension Filled - Well Shot - Keeps You On The Edge of Your Seat

Absolutely fantastic! I had seen this last year but forgot to put it on my watched list. I also just realised that Ryu Seung Ryong is in two of my top 10 rated dramas, playing two very tonally different characters. He’s truly a masterful actor.

The camera angles remind me of Pride & Prejudice and Zombies (in the best way). That too was a very well shot film. The long shots and closeups were chosen wisely but like with PP&Z, it’s the mid-shots that are used very well. It makes the viewer feel like the camera is them as the camera moves through the scene. And as this creates a feeling of being right in the thick of the action, it goes a long way to ensuring that the viewer’s heart keeps pumping throughout.

Also, I’d like to highlight how well the story unfolds. This, along with the pacing ensures that it never loses momentum and the dramatic scenes and revelations are timed right.

If you’re a fan of zombie or apocalyptic movies or if you’ve not already seen this before, you need to watch it. It’s highly entertaining and gripping. The tension holds you throughout and the TWIST!!! What a twist! I haven’t finished watching the sequel yet so I’m off to watch that now that I have re-watched this one.
