Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBears a striking resemblance to the "Kondo Tatsumi" story in Max Brooks' World War Z - An Oral History of the Zombie War (Complete Edition). Both stories concern an online gamer who finds himself caught in a zombie apocalypse with limited to no skills to survive. This movie is set in Korea and Brooks' story is set in Japan.
- GoofsJust before the power goes off in Joon-woo's apartment, he looks out the window to see a missile hitting part of the city. There's a bridge between where he is and the explosion, with cars running at normal speed in both directions, as if there's no emergency whatsoever.

Featured review
#Imaginative.
I rather enjoyed #Alive, it didn't feel like the average zombie movie. There seemed to be some parallels between the imagined threat here, and the very real threat, Coronavirus. There's a great scene where our man looks outside fearfully, and then looks at his food rations, something many people have done in 2020.
It's very nicely acted, nicely shot, it feels very fresh and current. The moments of horror were very nicely done, and never became too silly. Some nice twists, it's never predictable.
It has a real sense of doom, and terror about it, the way things gradually collapse, that said the action begins quickly, they don't hang around.
It's good, 7/10.
