#Alive risks no such stasis, serving up a busy series of perils and resourceful solutions.

Relatively safe in his hidey-hole, he nonetheless must witness the carnage outside, fend off external attacks, and eventually collude with another cowering neighbor (Shin-Hye Park).Ī couple years ago a French movie called The Night Eats the World put a similar protagonist in an identical situation, and let us get bored with him for 90 minutes. Alone in his family’s high-rise apartment while the others are out, Ah-In Yoo’s immature video gamer is not in the least prepared for long-term isolation when some sort of plague descends.
Though in this case, it’s not ash-filled smoky air he’s avoiding, but, well, you know: Shuffling cannibal undead. The hashtag’d one felt particularly relevant when it premiered last week, as it centered on a protagonist trapped in his home.
horror simply entitled (like numerous films before it) Alive. Less troublesome was recent Netflix arrival #Alive, a South Korean zombie movie by Il Cho that is not to be confused with a concurrent low-budget U.S.
#STUPID ZOMBIES 2 CITY DAY 48 HOW TO#
What sounds like a fascinating thriller in the Jordan Peele mode of genre-fied overt race-relations commentary unfortunately proved inaccessible to moi, as screeners are increasingly being given to press under such high cautionary security measures that, well, I just couldn’t figure out how to watch the damn thing despite having official permission to. I won’t spoil (as some advance reviews did for me) how those two things turn out to co-exist. One such film we were looking forward to reporting on but can’t is Antebellum, an intriguing construct in which superstar musician Janelle Monae plays a woman surviving 21st-century academia-and, it seems, 18th-century plantation slavery. Now that we can open our windows again (just how low can that bar for “positive news” go?), it’s still appealing to stay inside and watch someone else endure reassuringly fictive travails that are worse than even off-screen 2020 has coughed up yet…fingers crossed. But a flood of horror-themed releases (as well as less entertaining real-world horrors) certainly made it seem as if the year’s most pagan holiday was already nigh. Such was the fire-induced gloom recently that I kept thinking it was getting near Halloween-which is still more or less six weeks off.
