TRAVEL TO MOVIES: #ALIVE

Director: Il Cho
Cast: Yoo Ah-In , Park Shin-Hye , Jeon Bae-soo , Hyun-Wook Lee , Hye-Won Oh , Danbi Kim
Plot: The rapid spread of an unknown infection has left an entire city in ungovernable chaos, but one survivor remains alive in isolation. It is his story.


My Movie Review: The movie is very enjoyable with good action and decent acting its worth watching plus its humorous at times you get scared to the suspense as have fun at same sight! #Alive is about a laid back gamer whose been homebound in his apartment without enough stock of food and water as zombies spread outside around the apartment vicinity and hallways! As the movie progress zombies knocking on the door and the struggles of isolation took place being apart with his family became somewhat relatable especially this trying times where we face different kind of virus and so many of us are still affected during this Covid-19 Quarantine! Making this film very timely and relevant to watch plus the awesome ensemble makes effective portrayal of rapid outbreak and will to survive together with new found ally the girl from nearby apartment they help each other to surpass the day and fight' zombies or people try to get them!

Critics Consensus: Zombie violence, cursing in this thrilling Korean horror tale. Well-acted, genuinely unsettling, and occasionally even funny, #alive proves the crowded zombie genre still has fresh stories to tell. "#Alive" is a nifty little thriller that proves that you can always find signs of life in the most undead of genres. Never boring, consistently creepy, and inspires so much more hope than most zombie pictures unleashed on horror fans these days. Audiences will find themselves frustrated and hopeful for "Oh Joon-woo" as he fumbles his way though attempts at survival. Who knew that zombie films could be as inventive and nerve-wracking as this, despite there not being a dozen characters with backstories to care about? It's tight and fast-paced, the characters do a lot with the little space they have, and the action sequences are appropriately tense and disturbing, but there are also a few doses of humor. We're all a bit zombied out these days' but this clever Korean import kept me more than suitably entertained:)
