Like: When it comes to weston zombie film's there have a been a few that have been ok, but seem Korean film industry they seem to knows how to make zombies frightening and very intense, this is no acception. After watching Train to Busan with the crazy intense roller coaster with Horde of fast paced zombies, sadly with a sequel that wasn't as good as the first film which was a shame really started off with a great film. 

With #Alive it has the same intense fast moving zombies, which give intense moments throughout the film, Oh Joon-woo played by Ah-In Yoo who give a great Performance of someone that wake up in the middle of massive zombie outbreak and the world around him is rapidly falling part, he trap in he small apartment block given the film this claustrophobic and isolation feeling as he stuck by himself and the food and water are running out as the days go by. 

Its got very similar traits to a french film "The Night Ate the World" just without the romance, this film give a more drama and action style to it when thing start to really kick off. One of the best things about the film in its action sequences with all choreographed giving a lingering sense of vulnerability that makes them more intense that at any moment they could die which give the film a more intense feel.   

Dislikes: The Only complaint with this film is it a little short, and could've been slightly more longer to add more intense moments, but ya the film is very a short film

Overall: Intense, Brutal, Great acting, good zombie film

Rating: 4.6 out of 5 for Entertainment / 7.6 out of 10 great zombie film.
