What to do if you end up in a situation like this?

This zombie movie was an intense story with some much needed humor and dives into the human psyche in a zombie apocalypse. It is not better than Train to Busan, but it does stand out as its own movie.

The story was not the best written because you jump into the action of the movie not even 10 minutes into it. There were some parts not explain like how it began, but I liked it was a mystery on how we don't know how a zombie apocalypse could happen. I also like the reversal of the two characters roles, will explain in a second. One of my favorite parts of the writing is we got to look into the male lead's head and how he feels about what is happening around him. There were some hard parts to watch in this movie so watch out!!

Acting: I love Park Shin Hye in this role. Please drama gods?! Give her more of these type of roles!! I liked that the female lead got to do a lot of the action, and not just the male lead. Yoo Ah In did a fantastic job on giving us the human side of how to react to the world around him. They were fantastic together as allies and the chemistry was great too. I am also glad there was no romance in this movie!! I would feel a romance would slow down the story because the action was fast-paced. The slower moments were about the character development and I appreciated that immensely!!!

Music: The tone of the music fitted the tone of the story well. The music made the story more intense, or emotional or funny (the little that we got).

Re-watch: I have watched this a couple of times already. I think you should watch it first for the experience, then maybe another viewing to figure what is happening. I think it does require a couple of watches to appreciate this more. But I would also understand if you only watch this once since I could be hard to watch at times.

Overall, I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes zombie apocalypse movies, action, and the actors. It story may not be as deep as Train to Busan, but it is an entertaining ride from start to finish.
