Half-way through this and I hope the second half doesn't disappoint. Great stuff! Tried and true zombie-horror (South Korean made) - frenetic pace and suspense, and some nice touches of humour.

A laid back gamer is homebound with no food, no weapons, and zombies knocking at the door in this spirited Korean twist on siege movies.

Hold on...since when are siege movies a thing?  :o

I love Train To Busan, I'm all over another South Korean zombie movie.

I also haven't heard this term used much. Since Seven Samurai and Rio Bravo, maybe?

Or maybe Straw Dogs would be a more direct ancestor.
