    • Trivia
      Filmmaker Edgar Wright, who directed the BAFTA nominated zombie-comedy Shaun of the Dead (2004), was a big fan of the film. Wright recommended the film in a tweet and called it the "best zombie movie I've seen in forever."
    • Goofs
      The abilities of the infected seem to change for the convenience of the plot. For example, before they claim the infected will only attack if they see you, Sang-hwa traps an infected man in the toilet and it still tries to attack him, despite not being able to see him. Also, it is clearly shown that the doors aren't automatic as the handle needs to be pulled down, but eventually they realise that the infected can't open doors, but during the initial outbreak several do so with ease.
    • Quotes

      Soo-an: Dad, you only care about yourself. That's why mommy left.

    • Alternate versions
      The Indian cinema version is a minute shorter than the original version with a few violent zombie shots being censored.

    As far As I know The First South Korean Zombie Film
    I may or may not be right or wrong here, but if I am anywhere near correct they have done something magical. They have gone from zero to her with this. It is completely entertaining from start to finish, with a kind father-to-be, nice co-ed and chemically infested freaks that just do not pause.

    Is this the end for Hollywood??

    Oh I am going to miss all the great films Hollywood used to make for us like Thunder Force, Ghostbusters 2016/Afterlife, Disney Star Wars etc etc. (end of sarcasm)
