a little too vicious at times but we get a happy ending
Zombies are NOT my thing, so take that into account in relation to my * rating.
The zombie stuff (attacking, gore) happens mostly in the first part of the movie & then moves onto much less gruesome things. I wish that there had been more time spent showing us the training of the daughter than time spent on the zombies (in the beginning) as I felt there was alot of potential for more short comedic moments with the daughter.
Male lead Jo Yung Sook shines in this role & the young female lead did a really awesome job with her body movements (assuming they didn't CGI her). The comedic relief being a cat was amusing, but I wasn't sure if there was something sketchy implied when the cat sat upright, legs spread & tail twitching when it watched another cat on T.V.
I was disappointed in the way they handled getting rid of the biological father - it was a complete fail for me.
The last part of the movie was an unexpected & creative way to present a happy ending .
I didn't give it a perfect score because:
********* Spoilers********
They said "f-----" a good many times .
Having the biological father return made for an impossible resolution.
They COULD have had his arrival trigger memories that caused regeneration.
They COULD have made the uncle getting attacked cause regeneration due to memories of the bond between niece & uncle. They COULD have had the daughter bang her father with the stick & knock him out, OR even had uncle & niece drive off & leave the girl's father. after just punching him & knocking him down...but instead there is regression & all the progress of de zombification is lost in a moment where she gives into rage. that it's implied that the uncle finishes off the uncle (off screen) makes him less heroic & good. That the girl was still able to pass on the virus was also disappointing. that she does indeed bite her uncle as the end (even though it was invited) is also disappointing. I think there were better ways to handle these issues.
I also did not like that the uncle's former female class mate was so blood thirsty & un nurturing as she is presented as a probably love interest & new mother for the zombie girl.
So though it could have had more sweet & more comedic moments with the leads not going vicious, it was still good enough that i would rewatch it in the future.
