A story of a father's frustration towards his son not being able to fight back against bullies lead him to create a virus that improves a persons animalistic nature and craving for violence.

Although this movie trended worldwide, the step back to how old zombie movies were portrayed was really annoying. The sheer number of "pause before you act" moments is the total opposite of how humans act when in danger. One student even mentioning he watched Train to Busan, but still did not know how to act when being hunted by zombies.

Also the way the script tries to insert love story has cause the film to be flimsy at times. Givent he fact that these are kids, i can understand that crushes and love are a big deal for them, but i find it irrelevant on this film.

Another issue i find with this film is the way they include a "final boss(Gui-Nam)" in an already convoluted story. Yet, the final goal of the antagonist was really shallow. Fight sequences usually involves people standing and doing nothing while watching their friends being beaten up.

And lastly if you expect a solution and/or a happy ending for this story, there is none. This is the most common way for directors to tell you, "to be continued..."

Overall, it's a good take on the horror of how a government, it's policies, and humans react when their lives are on the line. This movie is good, but would have been better.

On a side note, please please can't zombie movies have intelligent protagonist. It's 2022 people, most individuals should have watched one or two zombie movies already.

The concept was great and the storyline was something you would get hooked on. But then again, how it was executed was really bad. The number of continuity errors are really really high; from the lead wearing chucks on one scene and suddenly boots on the next camera change, to jacket suddenly changing when actors come down from cars. Also, the number of gun pointing scenes consuming more than 20mins of screen time is so annoying(most ends up missing the shot at point blank range).

And additionally, the way they try to put in plot twists and try to make the story more complex made it more messier and really excruciatingly hard to finish.

Overall, a good film with subpar directing and writing.
