Was kind of disappointed by this. There were some exciting suspense/chase beats and clever use of modern tech, but I felt like the French movie The Night Eats The World did the "lone survivor trapped in an apartment building with zombies" premise much better
It does seem like more of a Train To Busan sidestory than Peninsula does
The Night Eats the World has the same premise and did it much better IMO.
Watched last night. Was alright.
Night Eats the World is a much better execution of the premise though.
Sorry for the bump, I finally got around to watching The Night Eats The World, and you guys are crazy, it was so excruciatingly slow (dare I say boring) and anti-climatic. Yes it was interesting as a character study, but as a zombie film it was largely uneventful and should only be recommended with caveats.
#Alive was also slow at times but it was more engaging and scarier, despite being more upbeat. I give TNETW credit for originality and a stronger opening scene, and #Alive is clearly largely influenced by the film, but if I were recommending a zombie flick, I would definitely say #Alive over TNETW.
TNETW had such a strong opening scene, then the rest of the film was largely flat. Sorry, I am a bit pissed off as I just convinced my partner to watch TNETW as our weekend horror flick and we were both bored out of our minds by the end of it.
