Note quite Train to Busan but still pretty good if you like this genre.

You need the # in front of Alive

mrk · 3 Sep 2020 at 16:00

Ah yes now I see it, it's already set to remind me so I must have added it at some point in the past!

cheers worth a punt

Kyo · 4 Sep 2020 at 03:20

Updated the title, my bad for not adding the #.

mrk · 9 Sep 2020 at 09:53

Watched this last night and thought it was quite good. Very much reminded me of Train to Busan 1 from the perspective of characters to like, pace of the action and overall cinematography. Worth it!

Enjoyed this one. Not amazing, but kept me hooked and fun to watch.

just put in on my list last night.

highly recommend Kingdom, first episode is a slow burn then it goes ****** mental after that.

Confuzzled - "episodes"? Is this not a movie?

#Alive is a film, Kingdom is a Korean zombie TV series recommended by wolfie138.

just finished watching this. very good, though i thought they could have made a bit more effort to make the characters look a bit more dishevelled as time passes, guy didn't even get a stubble going! bit of a minor quibble i suppose.

I've been watching a mad little Korean thing called Goedam too, bit odd AF in some places but downright creepy in others.

One that requires you to switch off your brain. I mean the guy lived off 1 packet of Ramen, a few protein bars and no water.

I've had a bad run recently!

It's a good film I thought, nicely put together and something about Asian films they do zombies well. Sure it's not off the edge zombie crashing moment constantly but it builds up nicely with nice zombie effects, and it was pretty hilarious when his internet connection died, and then he's almost starting making the neck cord to top himself.

You do have to switch off your brain and ride with it though.

Wow the Hollywood versions out. Looks like a carbon copy. Most likely won't be as good.

mrk · 23 Oct 2020 at 22:33

I can tell you from that trailer it's 100% clear it won't be as good. Forced acting/script just feels a bit B-movie. These sorts of films are best done by Asian actors and written and directed by Asian film studios. This is the genre they do best.

Raymond Lin · 24 Oct 2020 at 00:21

It’s like scene by scene recreation of the whole movie which the trailer shows it all!
