An excellent comedy extravaganza from Korea. Don't dare to miss this awesome fun ride if you get a chance to see it anytime anywhere.

The other characters turn our to be just as fun, and once the real fun gets going their interactions lead to some fun and playful scenes. Gore-hounds might be a little dissappointed with this fun, low-budget film, but i be that even they will come away approvingly. That this film is character driven and that we get to understand what true friendship and honor are really all about takes nothing away from its goofy horror. The ending itself takes on a completely unforseen tone, but with a dark and wonderful aplomb. Ashe.

Glad you liked this one - I found it absolutely charming; something I would definitely watch over and over again. Completely underrated zombie comedy.
...
Dai-Nihonjin (Big Man Japan): Definitely not a horror movie, this mockumentary covers... GIANT MONSTERS. We follow around BIG MAN JAPAN, a man who has been tasked with the job of fighting giant monsters when they come and attack Japan... Great concept. Some funny, fantastic giant monster-fighting scenes, but definitely falls short of the expectations that I had for it. It definitely takes a very SLOW and MUTED approach to the subject which, while I understand the point, I found myself getting bored and just waiting for the next ridiculous giant monster scene.
NE - You would really dig this one.
3/5.
